I am similarly amazed! I have a "basic" PC with XP and not much RAM, and it
handles the 2x2 split on a maximised layout on one monitor of a dual monitor
setup. I never thought to try it before. And you get a warning when Legacy
thinks you might be trying to cut and paste "unwisely". I had thought that the
split screen was only useful (intended) to look at two databases concurrently,
not two views on one database. It will be great for looking at families where
there are similar names, confirming which one to work with.

Can't wait to try that! I hope someone answers your technical question;
although technical, it does relate directly to the use of the Legacy program.
Isn't it amazing what you can learn when just 'playing'?!

I was playing. I hit the "split view" button which I had added to the
toolbar. You can also find it in the drop down from View. I got two
views. I hit it again and then again. At one point I had 8 views
although one was blank. You can change the view in each individual
"view" by clicking on the tab. I played with Windows/tile
horizontally/tile vertically until I got what I wanted. It's very nice
and it would save time if I could save the four view setup so I don't
have to mess with it each time I open Legacy. The primary person in
each view can be different.At the moment I have John Smith in family
view in 1, his grandfather in family view in 2, him in descendant view
in 3, his chronology in 4. It's a very nice feature.
I got it to open whatever I click on in the toolbar on the other
monitor. It's almost as good as having two instances of the same
database open at once.
I should add I am running 64 bit Windows 7 and am currently using 3.4
GB RAM. This may be a memory intensive setup.
