The reports which can be printed from the Personal Ancestral File,
Release, 2.0 are generally well conceived and executed. However,
when printed indexes are required, they are not always ideal. An
example is the MRIN sort which produces a listing of families
(husband and wife with other pertinent data) which lists the
families in MRIN order and the listing is by given name first.
After the list grows to considerable size it is difficult to
locate individuals.
The programs accompanying this document were created to work with
the data files created by the Personal Ancestral File, to produce
alphabetical listings of families arranged with the surname
first, and sorted by either MRIN, husband name, or wife name.
The FAMSORT package consists of four files: FAMSOR23, FAMPRT23,
FAMSOR.BAT, YESNO.COM and a public domain sort utility called
SORTF.EXE.
FAMSOR23 reads the data from the PAF files and creates a serial
file called NUMSOR.DAT which is sorted in MRIN order. Printing
this file with FAMPRT23 results in a report much like the MRIN
sorted file printed by the regular program except that the names
are listed surname first. From NUMSOR.DAT, SORTF is used to
create two additional files: HUSSOR.DAT and WIFSOR.DAT. These
files are sorted by husband name and wife name respectively.
These may be printed using FAMPRT23 to create separate reports of
each file. The batch file (FAMSOR.BAT) is used to coordinate
these operations in one routine.
