GedWise 6.3 Beta – Linux and Mac OS X (Nov 20)

Earlier this week (November 20th), the GedWise (PalmOS) 6.3 beta was released for both Linux and Mac OS X. GedWise is a Palm OS based genealogy application that now has a Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X installer (the only PDA genealogy application to cover all three platforms, and the only other Palm OS-based application besides My Roots to support the Mac platform). This is the first release for Mac OS X.

NOTE: As far as we know, this version # simply reflects a new installation platform for PalmOS-based PDAs.

Mac Requirements: Mac OS X. If you have a Mac and a Palm, it probably be greatly appreciated if you downloaded it and tried it out and left them feedback if everything worked or didn’t work, including your system information.

Linux Requirements:
* Red Hat 9 or higher, Fedora Core 3 or higher, SUSE 9.1 or higher) on an i386 computer running X11.
* Other RPM based Linux distributions may work provided you have Linux Kernel Version 2.6 or higher and X11.

Handheld Requirements
* Any handheld device running Palm OS 3.3 or higher with at least 512 KB of available RAM.
