OVERVIEW
GeneWeb comprises two servers (programs that receive requests from the web
browser and return information to it):
- gwsetup:
manages data bases: creating, deleting, renaming, merging,
importing/exporting GEDCOM and so on.
- gwd:
provides the ability to read a data base, make changes, compute
relationships, display ancestors and so on.
The servers are just programs running in windows. You don't need to pay
attention to them, but as long as you are using GeneWeb, you must not
close their windows. In any case, they are launched minimized.
Everything is done in your favorite Web browser, which carries on a dialog
with these programs using the internet protocol. But you normally don't need
to be connected to the Web.
START
To start GeneWeb, just double-click on the gwsetup icon and then on
the gwd icon. They should appear in the task bar, at the bottom of the
screen.
Then double-click on "START.htm" to bring up your browser. It
gives you a URL to click on in order to connect to the gwsetup service.
STOP
To stop, close the gwsetup and gwd windows. If you left them minimized,
use the right button of your mouse for this operation. Windows might say
that data may be lost. Don't worry about it. Just ignore this message.
Nothing is lost.
All the applications, including this README, can also be launched from the
"Start" button, "Programs" Menu, "GeneWeb-xxx".
