Marriage info in dftcom2 applet as shown after the "="sign.
Apparently, not all gedcom 5.5 tags are strictly recognized in dftcom2, such as Occupation, but the most important tags are. Easiest solution is to embed occupation information in the notes tag, which is shown as an extra note icon in the applet. I think that was the method for older GEDCOM standards, before the excessive proliferation of Gedcom tags (what's next? DISABLED, OBESE, RACE???)
Personally, I have noticed some problems exporting gedcom from new versions of FTM for use in DFTCOM2 - in my case chunks of the tree were missing. I like using the free AFT software from ancestry as it seems to export gedcom 5.5 better.
