!FamTools - Extra utilities for !Family
See individual programs for version numbers.
⌐ Denis Howe <dbh@doc.ic.ac.uk> 1993, 1994
You may copy this software freely as long as you
don't charge for it and this notice is retained.
This directory contains a number of extra programs for handling GEDCOM
files. !FamTools.!Boot sets up aliases for these commands which you should
use from the command line, passing the name of the input file as an
argument. Note that whereas !Family can handle either line feed or
carriage return as a line terminator, these tools only recognise line feed.
These utilities require gawk, the Free Software Foundation's enhanced GNU
awk, available from an archive near you (or send me a floppy).
FamGed
======
This command converts a file in !Family v1.0x format into GEDCOM. The
output file will have the same name as the input file but with a "G"
appended. The converter writes a SUBM (submitter) object to the output
file which is ignored by !Family but is required by the GEDCOM
specification. You should change the details in this object by editting
the print statements near the start of !FamTools.FamGedAwk or by editting
the resulting GEDCOM files.
AncGed
======
This command converts a file produced by Minerva's "Ancestry" program to
GEDCOM format. The output file will have the same name as the input file
but with a "G" appended. This program is in BASIC so it doesn't need gawk.
Report
======
List the names, dates and notes for all the people in a file. This has
been superseded by the Report function built-in to !Family v2.05.
NumPeople
=========
Print the number of INDIviduals in a GEDCOM file.
Length
======
Print the longest line in a file.
