The following is an announcement from GHCS Software:
GHCS Software has released V2.0 of its "GedStar Pro" application for PDA devices running the PalmOS operating system. This program extracts almost all of the data directly from a PC-based genealogy program and formats it for quick and easy viewing on the user's handheld device. This design allows GedStar Pro to operate without the need to export a GEDCOM file, making it very easy to use. Currently supported genealogy programs include The Master Genealogist, Legacy Family Tree, Family Tree Maker, and Personal Ancestral File.
"With V2.0 we have added a number of often asked-for features to the handheld program," says Doug Gordon, developer of the GedStar line of products. "This includes a more powerful name-search feature with Soundex support, several new lists of resources, a data export function, and even an "On-This-Day" feature that shows events that occurred on a particular day of the year."
GedStar Pro V2.0 is available as a free update for existing registered users of GedStar Pro V1. The program is available for purchase from Wholly Genes, Inc. at http://www.whollygenes.com and from Millenia Corp. at http://www.legacyfamilytree.com.
The ability to directly read Family Tree Maker is a 6.95 add-on at Wholly Genes. I did not find it mentioned at Legacy.
