More great stuff!!
FCG v1.01 - A fan-chart generator. Prints large, blank
pedigree charts of 3-14 generations. Uses a lot
of HD space and paper but looks GREAT! Family
Scrapbook is not needed to run it. Now available!
Documentation
The manual is contained in FAMILY.DOC. Other documentation is
contained within the *.HLP files which may be viewed and printed from within
the program. They are found in the "Helpful Info" menu. A printed manual
will be sent to you when you register.
Reccomended Hardware
1. 640 kilobytes of base ram (will use EMS if available)
2. hard drive, needs 400k of free space after installation for
creating temporary files in.
3. color monitor
4. A IBM, Epson, or HP compatible printer
5. DOS version 3.0 or higher
Installation Instructions
You need about 1.5MB of free disk space. The program will need
more disk space as you add data.
Uncompress all files onto floppy disks or a temporary subdir and
run the INSTALL program on disk #1. INSTALL will do the following:
1. Make a subdirectory on your hard disk
2. Install the files into it.
3. If you are upgrading from a version previous to 1.10,
it will convert your old data to the new format.
MAKE A BACKUP before you begin! ...Just in case!
Family Scrapbook will open up to 40 files. Be sure that your
CONFIG.SYS file has a high enough FILES statement in it. It
is reccomended that you set it to 40 or higher. The line would
look something like this in your CONFIG.SYS file:
FILES=40
Consult your DOS manual if more help is needed with this step.
To start the program run the file: FAMILY.EXE
