This program is designed with one Person as the root
and all other people as descendants or spouses. Its main
function is to be able to trace Your Surname back as far
as written records will permit.
The Pedigree function is retained for use if people want
to View Their roots in that format.
The first thing you should do is to back up the two
program disks. This disk MANUAL and the program disk
FVIEW
If you are using a one or two floppy drive system you
will require two formatted floppy disks, one for the
program FVIEW and one for the print disk. Copy the program
disk to one floppy, this will be your working disk.
If you are using a hard disk set up your subdirectory
with these commands.
C> MD FVIEW
C> CD \FVIEW
C> COPY A: *.* C:
C> FVIEW
NOTE: Press ENTER key after each command.
C to F can be used on hard drive.

then press ENTER.
!!! DO NOT !!!
Try to blank out extra letters with the space bar, e.g. if you
want to change Garry Rayman to Garry just type Garry
then press ENTER do not use the space bar to erase Rayman
because the program counts the number of characters that you
enter, and unwanted characters will be deleted.
If you accidentally type data in a field and you have not
pressed the ENTER key just move the cursor back to the
first position on the line using the BACK SPACE key then
press ENTER.

the Originating (Family View). This file will have .PER
as an extension.

< TINY TAFEL UTILTIES >
The first input request will be the Family View file
name that this program needs to generate a tiny tafel.
The second request is a name for the destination
(Tiny Tafel) File. If you hit the enter key instead
of typing a name the program will use the same name as
the first entry for the output file.
You do not have to add the extension to any file names
in the Family View series of programs as this little
convenience is added to this software.
The next request will ask you if you want to send the
tiny tafel to the printer. This is just a Y/N response.
The next request is mandatory for submitting a tiny tafel.
They are your Name, Address and phone number.
When all this data has been entered the program will load
the input file. It then stores a single occurance of a
surname so it will take a while to load. Once the surnames
have been loaded it will sort them alphabetically and then
display them in two columns.
You can then select a name by moving the selection pointer
with the up/dn arrow key then hitting the letter T
You will be then asked for an interest level for this name
There are 4 interest levels, 0,1,2,3 and you have to enter
a number here. This will be the interest level for the person
with the earliest birthdate.
The second interest request is for the person with the last
birthdate. Once the names have been tagged you press the
enter key and the program will start writing a tiny tafel
file for you. this will have the extension .TT
If you want more information on the tiny tafel format you
should try and obtain a file called TTSPEC.DOC from your BBS
This will probably be compressed and will have a different ext.

< ERROR CODES >
Error trapping routines are listed in this section along with
a brief explanation.
< SETUP must be run first. >
This error occurs if you try to run the EDIT, DISPLAY, or
PRINT program without running the SETUP program
first and creating the INST file.
< Family names are not in program you must enter them in
setup. >
The INST file has been created but you need to enter a
Family name in setup program, this only occurs if both
FILE 1 and FILE 2 are empty.
< <FILENAME> is empty you must enter data in the editor
program. >
This occurs when you try to run DISPLAY or PRINT program
before entering data in the EDIT program.
< Error in reply. >
This is probably the error that occurs the most and is caused
by fingers that can not follow the instructions that your
brain sends to them. Examples are pressing the wrong key or
entering a record number that does not exist.
< Disk drive error detected please correct >
This is occurs when the program is looking for your
print files in floppy drive A: or B: and the drive
is either empty or the door is not closed
< Printer error detected please correct >
There are three problems that occur with this error,
printer is turned off, out of paper, and could not
find printer. The first two will signal right away
the last one will take 10 to 20 seconds so don't
be alarmed, this will happen if your printer is
is not connected to your computer
Family View V 1.5 Page # 24
ïê
< ERROR CODES >
< Printer off line detected please correct >
This one is self explanatory and will take a few seconds
to display
If these errors are not corrected and you attempt to
continue, the program will exit to dos.
There is one error that will throw you out to dos,
No questions asked! The error code is 7
This happens if there is not enough memory to load FVIEW.
This is caused by Ram resident programs or text files that
are left over from other programs, so rebooting the
computer will solve this problem.

I monitor the genealogy echos so any problems or requests
should be submitted to this echo. Use the gensoft echo if
you have it else use the genealogy echo.
If you do not use a BBS then I highly recommend you try one
as you are losing out on a lot of valuable help in your
search for your roots.
Any comments or suggestions for improvement to this program
package are highly appreciated and will be considered for
future versions.
Thank you for your interest in Family View
