PST, a Chronological Pedigree Program, takes as input either a
GEDCOM file (".GED") or a ROOTS III data base file (".EDB"). It
creates a Pedigree/Surname/Timeline chart for printing. PST is
most useful for use with printers which have the capability of
quite a few columns in width, such as the wide-carriage printers
or those which can print in highly compressed type. Typically one
would want to be able to print at least 160 column charts,
although, if one is willing to do a cut and paste operation on the
pages one can get along with less capable printers.
The program creates a chart with time as the horizontal axis and
a list of surnames as the vertical axis. It places the first
letter of the first given name of an individual in the print
column corresponding to the year of birth of the individual and
the row corresponding to his or her surname. It operates in one
of two modes. It will either create a chart with time decreasing
from left to right (called "descending", the way one expects a
pedigree chart to look) or the opposite, with the years increasing
from left to right (called "ascending"). Both styles have their
advantages in assisting data analysis.
