* SCION EXTRAS *
* *
* The ARexx scripts and programs included with this distribution of *
* Scion are the work of Scion users. If you wish to discuss these *
* scripts and programs or make suggestions, please CONTACT THE AUTHORS *
* DIRECTLY. *

***************************************************************************
Please note that ALL scripts and programs are supplied AS IS, and no
guarantees are made. Note also that some of the scripts that involve a
graphical user-interface may require the use of additional libraries (not
supplied) and may be designed for PAL video screens only.
Most of these ARexx scripts and programs will work with Version 4 of Scion,
however some have been re-written to take advantage of the additional ARexx
commands available only with Version 5.
The scripts supplied by Freddy Ariës are also covered by the conditions
detailed at the end of this file. For conditions covering other scripts and
programs, please refer to the supplied documentation or the ARexx scripts
themselves.
The following scripts and programs are included:

FamilyTree
Version 0.6 (1 June 1997)
FamilyTree is an stand-alone add on to Scion Genealogist to print out
graphical family trees.
It is also able to display the same family tree graphic on the screen.
If you plan to print out the family tree then you will require a graphics
capable printer and printer driver.
FamilyTree is Copyright ©1997 Timothy Fagan.
Please refer to FamilyTree.Guide for further information.
Author: Timothy Fagan (tfagan@kpmg.com)
NOTES: (1) Even though FamilyTree is a stand-alone program and NOT an
ARexx program, it does interface with Scion via its ARexx port.
(2) The graphics printout can take some time - please be patient.

ScionBrowser (Copyright © 1997 by Frank Schnell)
Version 1.0
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| If you intend to use this program, the author requires simple |
| registration. See the accompanying documentation for details. |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
Provides a graphical representation of the family of a selected person
giving the user the capability to browse through the complete database
by virtue of double-clicks on persons. As a person gets double-clicked
the whole family tree will be updated to show the family of this new
person.
Features:
ScionBrowser has been written in an operating system friendly
way requiring as few resources as possible. The programme itself
is only ~30 kBytes in size (excluding the size of any shared
libraries).
Context insensitive help.
Completely font sensitive (I hope).
Requirements:
Kickstart/Workbench 2.04 or higher
Scion Genealogist 5.x or higher
The bare minimum of required RAM is ~100 kB Chip RAM and
~150 kB "any" RAM to browse a 300 people database.
(of course, ScionGenealogist must be running as well ;-)
Performance:
ScionBrowser is relatively fast. At least I cannot complain
using an A1200 with a 68030/50MHz/8MB accelerator board.
In order to reach a good performance ScionBrowser gets parts
of the person and family data into its own memory. Basically
these are the IRNs, FGRNs and the relationships. The drawback
of this is, that it needs a little longer to start. With a
625 people, 260 Families database the startup time on my system
is 9 seconds. But this pays off during context switches. They
virtually take no time.

NOTE: This is a separate "stand-alone" program, NOT an ARexx script,
but it does communicate with Scion via its ARexx port.
