■ EXAMPLE SESSION
To help explain the above I have enclosed an example data file
called EXPED.DAT <DATADAT>. Use a text editor <EDITFILE> or word
processor to read it or print it out by entering:
PRINT EXPED.DAT
To produce pedigrees proceed as follows.
First make sure that you are logged on to the disk containing
the above programs, and that you have changed directory (using
CHDIR) to the one that contains them. Then enter:
PEDRAW
Using the up-and-down arrows highlight the "Load pedigree file"
option and press Enter <LOADFILE>. Press Enter twice more to see
a list of all files in the subdirectory. Highlight EXPED.DAT and
select it by pressing Enter. The data file should be loaded in
without problems.
Highlight the "Display pedigree" option and select it with
Enter <DISPLAY>. Press Enter again to see a list of ID's of
everyone in the pedigree. Highlight 12990 and select it with
Enter. The pedigree should be displayed (if not see the section
on "Setting the graphics display"). Press Esc and the diagram
will be saved to disk with the name 12990.MSP.
Press Esc again to return to the main menu, then select "Quit"
to leave PEDRAW.
<PRINTING>
If you have Microsoft Windows then you may wish to run that and
then select the file 12990.MSP to open with Paint. You can label
the pedigree with that and then print it out in the usual way.
If you do not have Microsoft Windows, print out the pedigree by
entering:
PRMSP 12990.MSP
<PRMSP>
To see how PEDRAW uses .PED files, try typing:
PEDRAW EXPED.PED
and give the ancestor 4001 <DATALINK>.
