This is the unregistered version 2.3 of PEDIGREE.
PEDIGREE has undergone some major changes! The biggest are:
1. Significantly increased capacities for individuals and
families. Now you can process those really huge GEDCOM files!
2. 8 chart designs rather than 1!
3. A 5 generation chart! Wowee!
4. Several new options to control printing.
5. Age-at-death calculations.
6. Marriage date of parents printed.
7. Chart image files (.CHT) are now compressed to save disk space.
The document contains all the info you need to use the new features.
Check out the section at the back of the DOC which summaries all the
changes.
Because of these changes (especially all the new chart designs)
the disk space requirements of the registered version have
increased. The registered version will no longer run from a floppy.
It was a bad idea to try to run it from a floppy, anyway.
To install PEDIGREE you'll need 2 MB to contain all the files
after unzipping them. Many of the files can be deleted after
installation to reduce the program to it's fighting weight
(execution-only files). You can, for example, delete the
distribution file PEDGRE.ZIP and the document file as well as
this READ.ME. Copy the PEDGRE.ZIP file to your hard drive and unZIP
it. If you know how to unZIP from the floppy distribution disk to a
hard drive, great ... do that.
Here's another tip about conserving disk space that's not in the
manual. If, after you've printed all the chart designs, you decide
that one or more is really ugly and you're never going to use it,
erase it (them). Just be careful you pick the correct PEDIGREx.CHT
file name(s). Secondly, after it's (they're) gone from your hard
drive, don't attempt to select them on the parameter screen. That
will cause a fatal error in the program. The same tip goes for the
fonts, but deleting any of them won't save much disk space so forget
I said this.
The unregistered version includes only the ASCII PEDIGREE.TXT version
of the manual. I omitted the WordPerfect PEDIGREE.DOC file to
minimize disk space needed and download time. The unregistered version
has 1 4-generation chart (SHADED) and the 5-generation chart (GENER5).
As usual, I'm always around at 74025,731. Suggestions for improving
the program are not only welcome but appreciated.
