+===== Upgrading to PediTree =====
+Why should you move to //PediTree// when you are used to //Pedigree for DOS//?
+Only PediTree is still being developed, while //Pedigree for DOS// is not.  Moreover, it has limitations when running under the new 64-bit Windows versions.
+//PediTree// can use any database that was previously created or used in //Pedigree for DOS//. So,
+if you wish to start using //PediTree//, you can use your existing database(s) without change.
+However, to gain full advantage from //PediTree//, you will need to have additional elements in the
+database definition.  These are present in any database derived from the Elton55 design.
+If your existing Pedigree database was derived from the //Families// or //Census// design, then you can easily move
+to one derived from //Elton55//. Export a GEDCOM 4 file from your existing database. Then open
+the //Elton55// database and make a new (empty) database from it. Finally, import the GEDCOM file.  See the section
+on [[faq:GEDCOM|GEDCOM]] for more information on this process.
