Re: A couple of errors (was Re: timelines from GEDCOM files)

Actually this was with the -everyone option set.  I have not (yet) tried specifying the root person.  This was my first attempt to use it, and I more-or-less assumed that the issue was the size of the file.  I was going to test further today including with a smaller data set.

As to the email, yeah that's what I did too, but was suggesting that in some future version the program might just ignore such a line.

I'm kinda new to this, but so far it is not obvious to me how to get the output displayed in a timeline format...  I trust it will become clear in the fullness of time.

Cheers,
Nathan
