Refer to the documentation supplied with Scion Genealogist (available separately) for further information about the programme. When used with Multiview (for example), "scion.datatype" will display summary information about all the people in the database. For example, each line will display something like - 123 DOE, John °:4 Apr 1946 +:23 Jun 1996 where: the number (123) is the IRN, ° means "born" and "+" means "died". If the birth date is absent, but there is a baptism date, then the baptism date will be used instead and displayed as "º". For example - 123 DOE, John º:5 Jun 1946 +:23 Jun 1996 If the death date is absent, but there is a burial date, then the burial date will be used instead and displayed as "±". For example - 123 DOE, John °:4 Apr 1946 ±:29 Jun 1996 Month abbreviations will be localised if possible. If localisation in your current language is not possible, months will be displayed in English. "scion.datatype" will not display any details about families. If you want this information, use the reporting features of Scion Genealogist itself! For the technically inclined, "scion.datatype" is a sub-class of the "text.datatype". REQUIREMENTS ------------ Kickstart/Workbench v3 (or later). The "text.datatype" (© Commodore/Escom/Gateway/whoever).
