What is it?
WFT (Web Family Tree) is a program that permits you to display your
family tree on a web browser. It is distributed as freeware.
Prerequisites
To make this work, you need the following:
- An OS/2 or eCS
operating system.
If anyone wants to port this to
other platforms I can make the source code available, but for now it's
only available for the OS/2 family of PC operating systems.
- A web server. I
use Web/2,
but that's
simply a matter of personal preference. There are many web servers
available for OS/2, and any of them should work.
Note: You don't need an internet connection to run a web server.
If all you want to do is display your data on your own computer, it
is perfectly permissible to use the loopback connection to a web
server running on the same machine.
- Your family tree in
GEDCOM format.
Note: WFT is a viewer for GEDCOM files, not an editor. You can edit
a GEDCOM file in a plain text editor, but you are probably better
off getting an editor such as GenJ.
Read the manual
You can look at the online
copy of the program's manual.
Download
You can fetch the program from ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/software/.
The
source code is also available
for download.
