The following information is only "to the best of my knowledge" and may not  
be completely accurate.
 
The vital records indexes for Mexico, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland  
are online. (You can find this information by going to familysearch.org,  
clicking on the Search tab and choosing Vital Records Index in the list at the  
left. Click on the down-arrow in the Country field and you will see the list of  
those available.) The other vital records indexes (Australia, British Isles,  
North America and Western Europe) are not available online. Currently they can  
only be searched on the CDs.  
 
The Family History Resource File Viewer is used to display data from  several 
databases including several Vital Records Index collections, the Mormon  
Immigration Index, the 1881 British Census and the 1880 US Census. The Vital  
Records Indexes contain information from birth, christening, and marriage  records 
from selected localities. Some names found in the Vital Records Index  may 
also be found in the International Genealogical Index (IGI). The Vital  Records 
Indexes are not a complete collection of births, christenings, and  marriages. 
Not all localities are represented and coverage for any given area  may not be
 complete.  I believe that the most recent Family History  Resource File 
Viewer is version 4.0, and it comes with the purchase of a Vital  Records Index 
CD.  The viewer itself does not contain any data or resource  file information, 
and it is not required that a person use the viewer created by  the Family and 
Church History Department. However, some type of viewer is  required to see 
the data in resource files. After you have installed the viewer  onto your 
computer, you can add a resource file into your viewer.
 
     
The system requirements for the Resource File  Viewer?
 Pentium processor (or higher)  Windows® 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, or XP  8MB RAM 
minimum (16 MB recommended)  CD-ROM drive (4X minimum)  VGA monitor with 
256-color-capable video card  35 MB hard-drive space
 
Network installation instructions are included in the  \support\network.txt 
file on the FHRF Viewer CD.

History Support for more  information.  Go to www.FamilySearch.org, then click on
