The GEDCOM library was developed by the Family History Department of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is made available as
freeware as a tool to help genealogy software developers. I helped write
parts of the GEDCOM library, including a GEDCOM file parser and a record
storage tool.
There are two compiled copies of the the GEDCOM library. One file is called
GED_BC.LIB, which was compiled under Borland C++ version 3.0. The
other is called GED.LIB, which was compiled under Microsoft 6.0.
The source files are included if you wish to compile your own library.
To uncompress these files, type
INSTALL -d
One note: There is a #define statement for GLIMIT, which is the size of
a tree that is being loaded into memory. A tree is from 0 level to 0
level. If you are getting GEDCOM files with lots of notes and are
running out of memorry, you may want to increase the size of GLIMIT.
Right now it is 5000 bytes, I believe.
If you need any help, I'm available for consulting, and can probably get
your GEDCOM coding done quickly!
