I have several relatives who were cremated, and then the urn buried in a cemetery plot marked with a gravestone. None of mine have been interred in memorial buildings (I don't know what they are called) with memorial crypts built into walls. Those crypts have memorial inscriptions. So, in that way, they have a cemetery and grave marker.
It's your preference, but I list the site of the burial of the remains, in whatever form those remains may be. I deem the site of the cremation to be unimportant. It's going to become more confusing becauses now people are choosing organic disposal of their remains, which yields 1 cubic yard of compost. Great if you want to fertilize your or someone else's trees (there are groves devoted to that). So, perhaps your relative's burial site will be your back yard, under the large oak next to the south fence, or, in the memorial grove at..."xxx, some town, some county, some country. Everyone decides how to best handle their own information. There is no "correct" method. Providing enough information, in notes or extra events, is what is important.

Some Melbourne, Australia cemeteries give an annotation “Interment of C.R.” which I interpret as interment /burial of the cremated remains. It may be a common practice. So I have been changing or making their record as Cremation, and also adding a General Note to indicate (ie, that there may actually be a grave or memorial of some type). For some, it may be useful to visit or to search Billion Graves. Is this the only way / best way? I.L.

Given that there is also pressure, from its users, for a Mac version, and presumably a Linux version, they have a need to develop a new program and database that is multi-OS compatible. Hopefully, with the support from MyHeritage, this will happen, but MH also owns Family Tree Builder so it might put pressure on merging with it.

Since 1999 I've had a couple of side-project applications implemented in VB6. My focus now is .NET. As discussed on the site you mentioned and others, there are challenges to implementing Unicode-aware VB6 applications. Other sites describe how to meet those challenges. A couple techniques we used were Unicode-aware component packages and TLBs for access to wide-character functions. Perhaps the technology infrastructure Legacy uses has an ANSI-only component baked-in and switching it out would require a rewrite-level effort. If so, they'd never rewrite in VB6 now so the effective result is "we can't support Unicode until we abandon VB6". John
