FRASC converts PAF Family Records data into a standard
ASCII data format that can be loaded by database management
programs such as dBASE III and spreadsheets such as Excel or
Lotus 123. There are two possible formats for the converted data:
CSV and fixed length. In delimited format each field is begun
and ended with a quote mark, and the fields are separated by
commas. In the fixed length format each field is placed in a
fixed length field, forming columns of data.
Four files are produced:
(1) FR.IND with data from the individual file
(2) FR.MAR which contains data from the file of marriages
(3) FR.NOT containing data from the notes file
(4) FR.EVT with event records
The fields in each of the files is detailed in FRASC's
documentation, also showing the maximum length of each field.
The functions in FRASC have been incorporated into the same
author's Family Records Utilities (FRU) available in both
shareware and commercial versions.
NOTE: The documentation for FRASC contains an outdated address for
the author. Also note that the FRASC functionality is included in
the commercial version of FRU from the same author.
