Thanks Bill,

Looks like Brother's Keepers is just entering "Witness" information, but
not using it. It also looks like the program lets you enter the PLAC
subset's but so far they don't use the information. At least my quick
look at the program indicates this.

I am beginning to wonder if any program uses Genbox and/or TMG7's
Lat/Long information. Does anyone know of such a program?
