╔═══════════════════╗
║ PAFAIDE ver 1.0 ║
╚═══════════════════╝
1. Purpose of Program
a) In order to look at listings on the screen without having to print them
to disk or printer.
b) In printing different listings it is preferable to send them to disk
files allowing one to edit them and use DOS print program.
c) PAF did not include a sorted list of places.
2. Subprogram Names and Descriptions
a) AHNENTAFEL CHART ver 1.0
Creates an Ahnentafel Chart from PAF files.
b) LIFELINE CHART ver 1.0
Lifeline chart is a graphical representation of the decades in which
individuals lived. The program checks dates of the persons, to find
out if they were alive during the 0'th year (eg. 1970, 1980). It will
estimate ('▀'-alive; '≈'-guess) a life span of 70 years if it only the
Birth/Chris or Death/Burial year are present. This is useful to
compare individuals who were alive during different decades and to
aid in census research.
c) PEDIGREE CHART ver 1.0
This is different from PAF pedigree chart in that it includes the
generation number of the individual and has the option of listing
events of the individual.
d) PLACE LISTING ver 1.0
Lists all of the different places with the events that occurred in
them. Sorted by place then by individual.
e) TINYTAFEL CHART ver 1.0
The tinytafel chart was discussed in "Genealogical Computing". I have
implemented it with the option of places.
3. Program Limitations
My files have 674 individuals, 227 marriages and 529 names, thus I am not
able to test whether the programs will work to their maximum limitations.
If someone can send their files to me I could add them to mine in order to
test the maximums. It should work but I can't guarantee it. If your
files exceed the maximums you will be given a warning message.
AHNENTAFEL CHART 10,000 ancestors
LIFELINE CHART 4785 different lifelines
PEDIGREE CHART No limitations
PLACE LISTING 2990 different events
TINYTAFEL CHART 4000 different names
3963 different places
4. Feedback
This is USER SUPPORTED SOFTWARE and if you are using this program and find
it of value PLEASE:
a) Send your comments or suggestions on future enhancements.
b) Copy this program and share it with others.
c) Send me a copy of your GEDCOM files on 5¼ DS/DD Diskettes.
