WallPed and its manual ARE considered shareware and can be
uploaded onto any Genealogy based BBS for the use of all.
WallPed may NOT be sold or used for profit by anyone other than
Heidbrink Software Systems.
Every effort has been made to supply complete and accurate
information. However, Heidbrink Software Systems and its owners
assume no responsibility for its use.
WallPed will take the information from a GEDCOM file and
print a large pedigree chart to hang on the wall.
WallPed does not care how many generations or record numbers
there are in the GEDCOM file.
Once WallPed has been run you may move or delete the GEDCOM
file, the GEDCOM file remains the same as it was. Several new
files are created by WallPed that will allow WallPed to run much
faster.
When you want to use the information from another GEDCOM
file simply put the new file in the same directory as WallPed.
When you run it type in 'Y' at the prompt for Rebuild Data Files.
This will tell WallPed to scan the new GEDCOM file and remake the
WALLPED files.
With WALLPED you may print 3, 6, 9, 10, 11 or 12
generations. For a wall size chart print 11 generations. The
last generations are printed in super compressed mode to fit as
many names on as small a space as possible. You may also choose
which "page" you want to print. For example if you add a few
more names to your direct line you don't need to print the whole
chart again, just print the "page" that has changed. The "pages"
are as described below, 'A' will print All pages.

The Decimal Codes for the different print modes used in the
program default to those used by Epson and Epson compatible
printers. If you have a non-Epson compatible printer you may
enter the appropriate codes.
The following table will give you an idea of how big your
chart will be :
# generations width (pages) length
6 2 1 page - 11 in
9 3 2 pages - 2 ft
10 4 4 pages - 4 ft
11 4 7 pages - 6.5 ft
12 4 13 pages - 12 ft
The name line on the pedigree chart will look like this:
First Name LAST NAME__________IND#>__FAMC#
where IND# is the Individuals Record Number and FAMC# is the
Marriage Record number of his/her parents. If a number prints
below the FAMC# that is the number of children in that marriage,
if this individual is the only child then this number will not
print.
I will answer all questions about WallPed and my wife will
consider all requests to improve it. I haven't spent alot of
time on this manual as I think the program is very user friendly.
If enough people show interest in the program I will spend
considerably more time with it.
