Like Linda I have to spend time looking the pedigrees up and taking them to my
data base that I created in Lotus....yes the old, old program. It works for me
still so have not bothered to change from it to something else. I would also
love to see the pedigree program be very handy.  But it would be a huge
undertaking for sure.  Not sure about Smart Draw...since I had not study on
this problem.  I do not know how many would use the information but I find it
very valuable.  We need to figure out some way to keep Mike Lowe's work on the
historics.  Indeed we may need a major computer nerd to help us find a
program. It appears that the Daffodil society had someone write the program
especially for their platform.  I wonder what platform they are using?  Maybe
the secret to their success is indeed that platform.

pedigrees in the Iris Encyclopedia. Perhaps I am thinking too far ahead in
that we still have cultivars to enter. But I look at what the Daffodil Society
does and drool. They can present a tree going backward or the tree of progeny
going forward, and where they have images those appear in the tree also. A
magnificent job.

Unfortunately, as yet, I do not have a clear route as to how to integrate
these programs. I wish there was some computer nerd I could go to and say this
is what I want, how can you get me there? I contacted the Daffodil Society and
they told me they wrote their programs to fit their platform and they would
not be transferable.

$500 program called Smart Draw. It looks like it could do what I want but
probably not within the Encyclopedia. There are makeshift possibilities but so
far I have not figured out how to do this with the elegance I would like.
