Re: [PAF] Which PAF for Dos-only laptop?

["Richard N. Simonsen" <simonsen@slip.net>]

Paf 4 and Paf3 can use the same database and PAF 3 is a dos program and is
available.
I would recommend PAF3.  You can enter data in PAF 3 and access it with PAF 4
without creating a GEDCOM file.  This I believe would be your best solution.
Good luck,
Richard Simonsen
