!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.
