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".
