- ■ EXAMPLE SESSION
-
- To help explain the above I have enclosed an example data file
- called EXPED.DAT <DATADAT>. Use a text editor <EDITFILE> or word
- processor to read it or print it out by entering:
-
- PRINT EXPED.DAT
-
- To produce pedigrees proceed as follows.
-
- First make sure that you are logged on to the disk containing
- the above programs, and that you have changed directory (using
- CHDIR) to the one that contains them. Then enter:
-
- PEDRAW
-
- Using the up-and-down arrows highlight the "Load pedigree file"
- option and press Enter <LOADFILE>. Press Enter twice more to see
- a list of all files in the subdirectory. Highlight EXPED.DAT and
- select it by pressing Enter. The data file should be loaded in
- without problems.
-
- Highlight the "Display pedigree" option and select it with
- Enter <DISPLAY>. Press Enter again to see a list of ID's of
- everyone in the pedigree. Highlight 12990 and select it with
- Enter. The pedigree should be displayed (if not see the section
- on "Setting the graphics display"). Press Esc and the diagram
- will be saved to disk with the name 12990.MSP.
-
- Press Esc again to return to the main menu, then select "Quit"
- to leave PEDRAW.
-
- <PRINTING>
-
- If you have Microsoft Windows then you may wish to run that and
- then select the file 12990.MSP to open with Paint. You can label
- the pedigree with that and then print it out in the usual way.
-
- If you do not have Microsoft Windows, print out the pedigree by
- entering:
-
- PRMSP 12990.MSP
-
- <PRMSP>
-
- To see how PEDRAW uses .PED files, try typing:
-
- PEDRAW EXPED.PED
-
- and give the ancestor 4001 <DATALINK>.
