The latest version of the Tree Chart program has a new data format
to allow for up to 35 generations of a branch of the tree to
fit in one file. You still have the 600 or 2,000 name limit to the
size of the file, but one branch can now extend 35 generations
rather than the sixteen generation limit of the old version. The
printout of an individual record has also been improved.
To convert your old NAMES.CRT file to the new NAMES2.CRT format of
version 2 of the Tree Chart program:
1. Make a back-up disk of your NAMES.CRT file and format a blank
disk for your new NAMES2.CRT file.
2. Run the TREE_CVT.PRG from a floppy.
3. Insert your NAMES.CRT file at the prompt in the drive you ran
the TREE_CVT.PRG from.
4. When prompted, put your blank disk in the drive you ran the
TREE_CVT.PRG from.
5. Wait for the done message to appear. If you get an error
message, determine the problem and rerun the TREE_CVT.PRG.
Replace your NAMES.CRT file on your work disk with the NAMES2.CRT
file you have just created and run the REL2TREE.PRG and display
the first, last, and a middle record from your database to make
sure the conversion was a success. Your NOTES.CRT file requires no
conversion.
