Read/Write: Reads GEDCOM files
GRAFTREE consists of two programs, GEDBROWS and GRAFTREE, that
enable a genealogist to read GEDCOM files directly, as a group of
related individuals, and to print Descendant Charts sideways on
dot-matrix printers.
GEDCOM files are a means of transmitting genealogical information
from one computer to another. The format, standardized by the LDS
church, is not suitable for use as a database, nor for easy
viewing by humans. GEDBROWS presents each individual on a
separate screen, listing the person's name and dates, and the
names of his or her parents. Below this is a list of each of the
individual's spouses and children. Navigating through the GEDCOM
becomes as simple as pointing to a person and pressing Enter.
GRAFTREE produces a graphic family tree in a descendant format
sideways on Epson LQ and IBM compatible printers. Each descendant
is enclosed in a box, with his or her birth and death dates, and
first 2 spouses or the dates for a sole spouse. Charts can be 42
generations deep and 100 pages wide. Charts deeper than 7
generations are supported by printing multiple banner style pages.
GEDCOM files must conform to Release 4.0 (August 1989) of the
standard, as implemented by PAF 2.1 or later. Most popular
genealogical database management systems, such as Roots III, The
Family Edge, and Brother's Keeper, conform to this implementation.
GRAFTREE supports IBM and compatible (including Epson LQ) dot
matrix printers. It should work on any printer that accepts IBM
graphics commands.
