I know I do still have some clean-up to do in the way some of lines are printed, but I can’t tell from your description if what I’m thinking of is what you’re seeing.

If you want I can take a look at it if you don’t mind sending me your GEDCOM and pointing out where the extra spaces are occurring.

You are correct. Senir Moment. GedSplit is what I use. I’m in my 70’s now and each year I see how the body and mind ages.
Mature’s is more appropiate from my perspective, but watching the talking heads they seem to think we all are idiots who don’t pay attention to life around us.
Enough of this. Keep up the good work.
BTW, I noticed in some of the pharsing of my data that there is/was extra spaces between characters. It might be where I have a break in the sentence in my notes, etc. that Behold see’s an extra space or creates one. Don’t know but it is not a show stopper.

Thanks for vote of support on Virtual Merging. Hopefully you’ll still be around long after Behold reaches maturity. It’s only taken (arrgh) 10 years to get this far.

But isn’t Winsplit just a file splitter? I don’t quite understand how you would use it to split GEDCOM datasets.

Louis,

I for one see great things for your idea of Virtual Merging. I have had to use WinSplit many times to fork databases from my original db and see this way of merging information much more realistic than the methods currently employed by many developers.
The sooner the better. As I look at your timeline and future plans, it may be that I will not be around when it finally happens, but it will be a Great Thing for those of us who care for accuracy and not quantity.

Herb...
