Can anyone recommend a SIMPLE and straightfoward software package for making trees - drop down fashion. Years ago I had a 'shareware' Wingenea programme (long lost after several changes of computer) which allowed simple boxes that would automatically place themselves (as per most fancy versions today) but also let you click on and drag name boxes to where you wanted them to be and the connection lines re-adjusted automatically.

I want the programme to allow me to drag the document around the screen (similar to the tree maker on here) and allow me to print off WYSIWYG (which I can't see you can do on here!). I don't mind putting the pages together jigsaw fashion once printed off.

All I want is a tree that allows me to see the relationships between my family ancestors and myself, B&W, no colours or curlicues, as I prefer to add the history details in a separate text document.

Everything I have seen advertised is over designed and far too fancy for my tastes & requirements.
