OpenVMS VAMP Board

If anyone is interested in genealogy then I can report that PhpGedView seems to work fine on VMS. If I could get GD working then a few more options would work, but everything I tested so far looks great. The options that need GD do not even show on any of the menus, so people will not know they are missing anything unless they have run it on another platform or go looking through the code like I did.

The genealogy file I have has 310 names and 9 generations of families. It first started on a DEC Rainbow running a DECUS Family Tree program. Then it was migrated to a 386SX machine running (IIRC) a DOS based program called Brother's Keeper. Then it went through two other Windows based machines running at least three versions of Family Tree Maker. Now it lives on an AlphaServer 800 5/500 machine running OpenVMS and PhpGedView.

Peter,
Please post some more information: What works, what doesn't, what needs to be adapted etc.
If you would supply a link for the product, that would be helpful as well.

Hi,

I don't get out here very often, but I hope you are still interested.

The home page for PhpGedView is http://www.phpgedview.net/. When I first installed it I was on the previous version of PHP and it did not support GD so some menu options did not show. The latest version of PHP claims it supports GD (but it does not work) so the menu options showed but did not do anything.

Searching through the source code I see the options are statistics.php and statisticsplot.php.

Other than that I have not found anything that does not work correctly as long as you unzip the file to handle multiple dot file names correctly.
