- !FamTools - Extra utilities for !Family
- 01 Feb 1995
-
- See individual programs for version numbers.
-
- This program is Copyright 1993, 1995 Denis Howe. You may
- distribute verbatim or modified copies of this program
- provided each such copy is distributed with a copyright
- notice and distribution conditions identical to these.
-
- This directory contains 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.
-
- 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 BASIC program 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.
-
- "Length" and "NumPeople" require gawk, the Free Software Foundation's
- enhanced GNU awk, available from an archive near you (or send me a floppy).
- Note that whereas !Family can handle either line feed or carriage return
- as a line terminator, these commands only recognise line feed.
-
- NumPeople
- =========
-
- Print the number of INDIviduals in a GEDCOM file.
-
- Length
- ======
-
- Print the longest line in a file.
