I am one of the beta testers for the new version of Clooz that is about to be released. This program has many improvements that make it a true asset to the genealogist. There also has been a great deal of work, discussion and change in the program based on the initial design, results from the beta testers and the integration with Legacy.
if you are looking for an over view, the best way will be to download the program (don't download the version that is posted as it will expire on April 30th), and then take the program for a test drive for the evaluation period. I would suggest that anyone that wants to evaluation the program start with the way you want the program to work for you - either integrated with Legacy or as a standalone with a gedcom import. Once you have decided how you want to use the program, keep your electronic files, and work with the program, you will have a program that is a true enhancement to your research. If you have never used Clooz (the older version 1) program, you would benefit from reading the manual that is available as it provides an understanding of associations of documents, the methods and recording that is done. Otherwise, if you have not decided how you want to keep your records, structure either your electronic or hardcopy file - you will be just walking through the haunted forest and will most likely have to start over. I am speaking from experience in that I got the version 1 program years ago, did not really get a solid way of working with my files, and found that I was using three different methods and practices, as well as wound up with creating multiple files to work with in trying to get organized with the massive piles of records, documents, and files. If there are any questions, comments, or thoughts pertaining to this post, contact me directly as I feel that this is not the forum to make these on the Legacy site. Also, as the program is released, you can join the Clooz list on Yahoo and get help from long time users of the version 1 and soon to be version 2. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lincoln Mulkey Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 5:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Legacy and Clooz version 2 If there are any Clooz beta testers onlist, how well does Clooz version 2.0 interact with Legacy 6.0?
