■ DATA FILES
PEDRAW accepts pedigree data arranged in one of four formats: as
a PEDRAW data file, as a LINKSYS SDF file, or as a LINKAGE PED
file either before or after passing through MAKEPED. PEDRAW
determines the format of the file by its extension. If the
filename ends .DAT then it is assumed to be in PEDRAW format
<DATADAT>. If it ends .SDF it is assumed to be in LINKSYS SDF
format (produced by using the "Export" option of LINKSYS)
<DATASDF>. If it has the extension .PED it is assumed to be a
LINKAGE pedigree data file before MAKEPED has been run on it
(i.e. without sibling pointers), and if it has the extension
.PPD then it is assumed to be a LINKAGE pedigree file output
from MAKEPED <DATALINK>. If the data file has none of these
extensions then the program will ask which format the file
is in. Note that there is no way to override the default
interpretation. That is if you have a LINKAGE file called
PEDATAIN.DAT, PEDRAW will misread the file and report an
error. The file would have to be renamed e.g. to
PEDATAIN.PPD before PEDRAW could use it.
