                            SCION GENEALOGIST
               =============================================

                   [Formerly known as ArJay Genealogist]

        This is a specialised database for keeping track of genealogical
        information. It features a full, easy to use, Intuition interface
        with key short-cuts for most gadgets.

        The programme is totally non-sexist and secular in nature, and
        correctly handles multiple marriages, "unconventional" marriages,
        adopted children, and unmarried parents.

        The printed reports include descendant and pedigree charts,
        personal details reports, family group sheets, and index lists of
        people and families.

        Free-form note files can be created using any editor, and IFF
        pictures can be viewed using any IFF viewer, from within the
        programme.

        Other features include dynamic on-screen ancestor and descendant
        charts, extensive on-line context-sensitive help (using
        "AmigaGuide", © Commodore Business Machines), flexible "regular
        expression" searching, and multiple ARexx ports with extensive
        command set.

        Up to 1000 people per database, with databases held in RAM for
        maximum speed and responsiveness. Can be used with PAL or NTSC.
        AmigaDOS 2.04 (or later) required. 1 Meg RAM recommended.

        Version 3.06, binary only. Update to v3.04 of ArJay Genealogist.

        Many new options (including basic LDS compatibility) - see below.
        Some bug fixes - now works correctly with European keyboards.

NOTE:   This programme will read databases created with ArJay Genealogist,
        but when that database is then saved, it will no longer be able to
        be read by the old ArJay Genealogist (only by Scion Genealogist).

        If you still wish to work with the old ArJay Genealogist, make a
        copy of any existing database created with ArJay Genealogist, and
        use that copy with the supplied Scion Genealogist.

        Retain the original for use with ArJay Genealogist.
