I tried writing in Arabic and it saved fine. Why is it written to not support unicode?

There is another freeware portable app - Ahnenblatt

Very handy and feature-rich

This program works great. Since I can't get Family Tree Maker ver16 to work as a standalone on my USB drive this is great for my trips when I visit relatives. I have over 700 people entered into my Family Tree Maker file and this program supports all the entries easily and very fast.

Keep up the good work

I want it UNICODE. It's useless for me

Real Good App, non bugs, I'm using 1.3.

Sometimes it doesn't let me link a descendant if I still don't have "married" the person I want to link, so I have to do stuff in the precise order... annoying!

More over, If I create an individual, when I want to link to that individual, sometimes it creates a new entry with the same name...

For true portability, install, copy the exe and DLL to the USB stick, then uninstall - registry entries are only there to facilitate uninstall, according to the author.

Latest Version 1.26 seems to have an installer, and creates a couple of registry entries. Doesn't seem to be too major, but people should be aware...
