[Genealib] GEDCOM in the Library

[Susan Scouras]

How serendipitous!  I just started a conversation among our staff
regarding such things this morning.  We don't have anything to offer at
this point, so we would appreciate it if all would reply to the list and
share advice.

	We recently received a manuscript collection (handed over across
the reference desk) including a cd with a GEDCOM file. Does anyone have
similar disks and how do you handle reading and maintaining them?  As it
stands, we do not have any genealogy programs on the Library computers.
If we add a program somewhere and transfer the file, which would be best
(easiest to use and update as time goes by)?
	On a related note -- has the GEDCOM file type changed over the
years?  Or are we ok keeping the data as a gedcom??
	 
	Thanks for any ideas.
