                         SHAREWARE REGISTRATION INFORMATION

          Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
          before buying it.  If you try a Shareware program and continue
          using it, you are expected to register.  Individual programs
          differ on details -- some request registration while others
          require it, some specify a maximum trial period.  With
          registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
          using the software to an updated program with a printed manual.

          Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
          and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
          exceptions as stated below.  Shareware authors are accomplished
          programmers, like commercial authors, and programs are of
          comparable quality.  (In both cases, there are good programs and
          bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution.
          The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute
          the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group.
          For example, some authors require written permission before a
          commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

          Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.  You
          should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
          whether it's commercial or Shareware.  The Shareware system makes
          fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
          And because the overhead is low, prices are low also.  Shareware
          has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
          product, you don't pay for it.

          FTP is a Shareware program and is provided at no charge to the
          user for evaluation.  The essence of "user-supported" software is
          to provide personal computer users with quality software without



          4                                       Family Tree Print Utility


          high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to
          continue to develop new products.  If you find FTP useful and are
          continuing to use FTP after a reasonable trial period, you must
          make a registration payment of $27.50 to Common Sense Software.
          The FTP program took many man-hours of software development
          effort to produce, and registration fees are the ONLY WAY the
          authors receive compensation for their time and effort.  Help to
          keep the Shareware concept alive and well by becoming a
          registered user after your evaluation period.  The FTP Shareware
          program is not copy protected or "crippled" in any way from the
          registered user's version; Common Sense Software is counting on
          each user's honesty to register their copy.  EVERY REGISTRATION
          COUNTS, INCLUDING YOURS!

          The cost of FTP User registration is $27.50.  As a registered
          user, you will receive the latest registered user's version of
          FTP and a registration number which will allow us to inform you
          of future enhancements to FTP, and provide you with upgrades of
          FTP at reduced prices.  Registered users also receive a printed
          reference guide covering the program's operation, as well as
          technical support by both mail and phone.  In addition,
          registered users will receive a FREE COPY OF GENCHECK, a new
          program offered by Common Sense Software which verifies the
          integrity of your database.  A registration form is provided at
          the end of this manual for your convenience.  You are encouraged
          to pass a copy of the shareware version of FTP along to your
          friends for evaluation, but please do not give it away altered or
          as part of another system.  Please encourage them to register
          their copy if they find that they can use it.

          Anyone distributing FTP for any kind of remuneration must first
          contact Common Sense Software for authorization.  This
          authorization will be automatically granted to distributors
          recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for
          shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering
          FTP immediately (However Common Sense Software must still be
          advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the
          latest version of FTP.).


                                   LIMITED LICENSE

          the SOFTWARE solely for backup or archival purposes, or 2)
          transfer the SOFTWARE to a single hard disk provided you keep the
          original floppy disk solely for backup or archival purposes.  You

          of the SHAREWARE version so that you may give copies of it to
          interested friends.

                                 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

          FTP will run on most IBM or compatible computers with 640K of
          RAM, PC-DOS or MS-DOS 2.1 or greater and two disk drives.  An IBM
          AT or compatible with 640K of RAM and a hard disk are recommended
          for large family history databases.


                                    INTRODUCTION

          The FTP Family Tree Print program was created to assist in the
          printing of genealogical information.  Version 1.20d supports the
          FAMILY TIES Computer Genealogy Program, written by E. Neil
          Wagstaff, Version 1.17 - Version 1.20.  Version 2.2d supports the
          Personal Ancestral File Program, written by the LDS Church,
          Version 2.1 - Version 2.2. Version GEDd works with any PAF-
          compatible GEDCOM database representation.  FTP can be used with
          a Family Ties, PAF or GEDCOM database to obtain a variety of
          family printouts, wall charts and indexes.  Some of FTP's
          capabilities are:

          1.Three Generation linked list printouts suitable for binding,
            including double sided printing and an alphabetized cross-
            referenced index.
          2.Register Reports (Descendants), a textual representation of
            your family history, including an alphabetized cross-
            referenced index.
          3.Family Group Sheets, similar to the Three Generation charts
            but with greater detail, including an alphabetized cross-
            referenced index.
          4.Family history Wall Chart containing ALL PERSONS in your
            Family History database, also including an alphabetized cross-
            referenced index.
          5.Ancestor and Descendant Wall Charts, including an alphabetized
            cross-referenced index.



          7                                       Family Tree Print Utility


          6.Family tree "pruning" capability to print all Wall Charts
            using a selective portion of the database.
          7.Interactive database perusal system to locate selected family
            units, display details on the family, and traverse family
            links.
          8.Convert your existing genealogy database into the Genealogical
            Data Communications (GEDCOM) format so that it may be exported
            to other programs.  FTP's GEDCOM export feature has now been
            officially certified by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-
            Day Saints for submission of GEDCOM data for the Ancestral
            File database.
          9.Customization capabilities to adapt the FTP printing system to
            any type of printer, including Post Script printers.

          This manual is divided into the following sections.  The first
          part provides installation and set-up information so you can get
          FTP running on your Family History database.  A brief description
          of the FTP Main Menu is also provided so that you can start and
          exit the FTP program.  Next, the database perusal system is
          presented, so that you can learn how to traverse along your
          family tree and obtain Three Generation charts and displays.  The
          features of the Three Generation chart printing system are then
          detailed, allowing you to print selected charts as desired.
          Next, the manual presents a description of the Family History
          Wall Chart system, a new and interesting way to "get the BIG
          picture" on your family history.  Finally, the manual concludes
          with a description of the Register Report writing capability, a
          unique way to print descendant information in textual paragraphs,
          and Family Group sheets.

          While FTP was designed to be operated by the computer novice with
          little training, please take the time to read this manual and get
          to know FTP's capabilities.  It is best to try some of the
          commands with FTP as you read along, so that you can understand
          exactly how they work.  Don't worry about damaging your database
          by accident; FTP was designed to use your database in a read-only
          mode.  This means that FTP is unable to alter your database in
          any way; it can only display data previously created by your
          genealogy program.


                       NEW FEATURES IN FTP 1.20d / 2.2d / GEDd

          This section of the manual lists the new features which are now
          available in FTP with this release.  Experienced FTP users may
          only need to read this section, along with the descriptions of
          the new commands, in order to become fully familiar with this new
          version.  First-time users can ignore this section and resume
          with the installation instructions.

          GEDCOM Extensions

          FTP's GEDCOM export capability is now available in all three
          versions of FTP (Family Ties, PAF, and GEDCOM).  Now all versions



          8                                       Family Tree Print Utility


          of the program will allow you to create a GEDCOM file consisting
          of only part of your database (as represented on the last Wall
          Chart), or your entire database.  This GEDCOM capability has been
          certified by the LDS church for submissions to Ancestral File,
          and complies with the GEDCOM Draft Release 5.0 Specification,
          dated December 31, 1991.

          Register Reports

          FTP now contains yet another new printed report, called the
          Modified Register format report.  This report is used in place of
          a Descendants Chart, where all information known about a person
          is formatted in easy-to-read paragraphs.  An alphabetized index
          is also included to aid in locating individuals in the narrative.

          Family Group Sheets

          FTP can now also print Family Group sheets, a one page report
          containing extensive information on a complete family.  These
          pages are similar to the Three Generation Charts, but contain
          greater detail on each family and print in compressed print (132
          characters).

          Wall Chart Improvements

          Many additions have been made to the Wall Chart generation
          section of FTP.  First, you may now select the Box Width to be
          used in printing individuals on the chart.  Using a larger box
          width (the default is 11 characters) permits longer names to be
          printed inside the box.  You may also now save the last generated
          wall chart to disk for recovery and printing later.  Simply
          recall the file containing the Wall Chart positioning locations
          and the people will be returned to the proper positions for
          printing, index generation, GEDCOM export, etc.

          Performance Improvements

          Many improvements have been made to the FTP Wall Chart generation
          utilities, pedigree collapse checking, and conversion programs to
          improve performance.  In some cases Wall Chart generation times
          are up to 10 times shorter than Version C!  This dramatic
          increase in speed could only be accomplished by consuming more of
          your computer's RAM memory.  Effective this release, it is
          suggested that you have 640K of RAM to run FTP.

          Bug Fixes

          Fixed in Version D were the following: better support for early
          IBM monochrome displays which were unable to support highlighting
          or reverse video; full 5-digit support in all number fields for
          those of you with over 10,000 people in your database (FTP now
          supports 32,700 people in a single database); a majority of the
          DOS errors which occur when problems develop with the printer are
          now trapped by FTP, rather than having you "bounced out" to DOS

          in a program crash; better support for laser printers; and a
          special way to invoke FTP if your computer's BIOS does not
          properly support video scrolling.  We also heard your suggestions
          for more detailed directions on selecting "Starting" and
          "Terminating" people for Wall Chart generation, and have included
          more information on this topic in the manual.

          If you have a problem, please send us a copy of your database on
          disk, and a description of the problem.  We will fix the problem
          and return a new version of FTP to you as soon as possible.


                                    INSTALLATION

          Installation of the FTP program is easy, even for the novice
          computer user.  Please find the section for your computer
          configuration (Floppy drives or Hard Disk), and proceed with the
          directions that follow.

          Installing FTP 1.20d (Family Ties) On A Floppy Disk System

          Copy the programs FTP.EXE and FTCONV.EXE to your Family Ties
          program disk. If there is insufficient space to hold the
          programs, copy them to your data diskette.  Single disk drive
          users must simply swap their diskettes at the appropriate time.
          Run the FTCONV.EXE program to make a copy of your .DA1 database
          file and reformat it into a .FTP file suitable for use by FTP.
          After FTCONV has made the new FTP database file, you may choose
          to delete FTCONV.EXE to save space.  However, FTCONV should be
          run whenever you have modified your database using Family Ties
          and wish to see these changes in FTP.  You may then run the FTP
          program.  To run the program, install your floppies as you
          normally would to run Family Ties, select the floppy drive where
          FTP is located (A: or B:), and type FTP.  The FTP program will
          then begin to search for the necessary database files it needs to
          run.  If it is unable to find the files, you will be prompted to
          tell FTP where the files can be found.

          Installing FTP 1.20d (Family Ties) On A Hard Disk System

          Copy the programs FTP.EXE and FTCONV.EXE from your FTP Master
          Diskette to the sub-directory where your Family Ties program and
          data reside.  Run the FTCONV.EXE program to make a copy of your
          .DA1 database file and convert it to a .FTP database for use by
          FTP.  You must run the FTCONV program each time you change data
          using Family Ties and wish to see those changes in FTP.  To run
          FTP, select the appropriate sub-directory using the Change
          Directory command (CD \dirspec), and invoke the program by typing
          FTP.

          Installing FTP 2.2d (PAF) On A Floppy Disk System

          Copy the programs PAFP.EXE and PAFCONV.EXE to any PAF program
          disk. If there is insufficient space to hold the programs, copy



          10                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          them to your data diskette.  Single disk users must simply swap
          their diskettes at the appropriate time. Run the PAFCONV.EXE
          program to make a copy of your INDIV2.DAT database file and
          reformat it into a .FTP file suitable for use by FTP.  After
          PAFCONV has made the new FTP database file, you may choose to
          delete PAFCONV.EXE to save space.  However, PAFCONV should be run
          whenever you have modified your database using PAF and wish to
          see these changes in FTP.  You may then run the FTP program.  To
          run the program, install your floppies as you normally would to
          run PAF, select the floppy drive where FTP is located (A: or B:),
          and type PAFP.  The FTP program will then begin to search for the
          necessary database files it needs to run.  If it is unable to
          find the files, you will be prompted to tell FTP where the files
          can be found.

          Installing FTP 2.2d (PAF) On A Hard Disk System

          Copy the programs PAFP.EXE and PAFCONV.EXE from your FTP Master
          Diskette to the sub-directory where your PAF data files currently
          reside.  Run the PAFCONV.EXE program to make a copy of your
          INDIV2.DAT database file and convert it to a .FTP database for
          use by FTP.  You must run the PAFCONV program each time you
          change data using PAF and wish to see those changes in FTP.  To
          run FTP, select the appropriate sub-directory using the Change
          Directory command (CD \dirspec), and invoke the program by typing
          PAFP.

          Installing FTP GEDd (GEDCOM) On A Floppy Disk System

          Copy all the programs on your disk to another floppy disk.
          Single disk drive users must simply swap their diskettes at the
          appropriate time. Run the GED2FTP.BAT program to import your
          GEDCOM database file and reformat it into a file suitable for use
          by FTP.  GED2FTP must be run whenever you have modified your
          GEDCOM database and wish to see these changes in FTP.  You may
          then run the FTP program.  To run the program, select the floppy
          drive where FTP is located (A: or B:), and type GEDP.  The FTP
          program will then begin to search for the necessary database
          files it needs to run.  If it is unable to find the files, you
          will be prompted to tell FTP where the files can be found.

          Installing FTP GEDd (GEDCOM) On A Hard Disk System

          Copy all the programs on the disk to the sub-directory where your
          GEDCOM data files currently reside.  Run the GED2FTP.BAT program
          to import your GEDCOM database file and reformat it into a file
          suitable for use by FTP.  You must run the GED2FTP program each
          time you change your GEDCOM database and wish to see those
          changes in FTP.  To run FTP, select the appropriate sub-directory
          using the Change Directory command (CD \dirspec), and invoke the
          program by typing GEDP.


                                     QUICK START



          11                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          There are now several optional ways to run the FTP program.
          First, if you have a monochrome monitor, start FTP using the "/M"
          command (Example: you would type "FTP /M" for the Family Ties
          version, "PAFP /M" for the PAF version, or "GEDP /M" for the
          GEDCOM version).  If you encounter difficulties in generating a
          Wall Chart with the FTP program (your computer "hangs", or fails
          to respond to any keystrokes), invoke FTP with the "/BIOS"
          command.  This command tells FTP to minimize its use of special
          BIOS calls which some older systems cannot support.

          Now that you have installed and invoked the FTP program, the
          program should begin organizing your family history database for
          display purposes.  This process can take some time, depending
          upon the size of your database and the speed of your computer.
          When this is completed, the message, "Press Any Key" appears. By
          pressing a key, you will enter FTP's MAIN menu and the Three
          Generation chart corresponding to your first database record will
          be displayed.  To exit the FTP program, type 'Q' for Quit, and
          you will be returned to DOS.

          The display is organized in the following manner.  Each page
          represents a single family, containing the parents and their
          children.  In addition, the parent's parents are included so that
          you may see how various families are linked together. The display
          is organized so that the husband appears in the left center box,
          and the wife in the right center box.  Page numbers located
          beneath these two boxes indicate the page number of an other
          marriage for that person (shown as {xxx}).  Birth, death, and
          marriage date information is provided for these individuals.
          Should the identity of a husband or wife be unknown, that
          particular box will remain empty.

          Parents of the husband and wife appear in the upper row of boxes.
          A page number is also provided for each set of parents
          corresponding to the page where their family will be displayed.
          This allows the user to locate and trace a desired family
          lineage.

          Children appear on a single line below the parents.  FTP is
          designed to display 5 children at a time.  Should there be more
          than 5 children, the lower line of the children's box will say
          "More Children", and other children can be viewed by pressing "M"
          for More children.  When all children have been displayed,
          pressing "M" again will return to the display using the first 5
          children.  Birth, death, and page number information is provided
          for each child.  It should be noted that some children will not
          have a page number next to their names.  This is due to the fact
          that these children have no spouses or children themselves, so
          they need only appear on the parent's page.

          On color displays, certain people in the database will be
          displayed in green or red, rather than white.  These colors are
          used in conjunction with the tree "pruning" capabilities included
          in FTP.  Green indicates the starting person that will be used



          12                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          for all wall charts (all people, descendants, or ancestors).  Red
          is used to indicate terminating people, which are selected to
          remove family lines from the various wall charts.  Terminating
          people are not included in wall charts when they are generated.
          Guidelines in selecting the starting person and terminating
          persons can be found in the command descriptions below (see the
          Tree command).  On monochrome displays, these people will be
          shown in reverse video.


                                PERUSING THE DATABASE

          Now that you have learned how to start and stop the FTP program,
          it is time to learn how to use the database perusal system. This
          system was designed to allow you to follow certain family lineage
          easily.

          Details Display

          The first command is the Details command, executed by typing the
          letter "D" at the MAIN menu.  The details command offers
          additional detailed information on the selected husband/wife pair
          such as record number, birth, christening, death, burial and
          marriage information.  The combination of the Three Generation
          chart and the Details display is used to make one page for
          printing.

          Jump to Next Page

          The Next command (type "N" from the MAIN menu) allows you to jump
          to the next page number.  When you have reached the end of your
          database, the Next command jumps back to the first page.

          Jump to New Page

          The Jump command (type "J" from the MAIN menu) allows you to jump
          to any desired page number.  This is useful when you know the
          page number where a particular family is displayed.  In addition,
          the page number of each child or parent is displayed on the Three
          Generation chart.  You may use the Jump command to move to these
          particular page numbers as desired.

          Jump to Husband's or Wife's Parents

          Several commands are also available to jump to specific locations
          along the family tree.  The Husband's parents command (type "H"
          from the MAIN menu) selects the husband's parents to be displayed
          in Three Generation form, moving their information from the upper
          left corner of the screen to the center. Likewise, the Wife's
          parents command ("W" from the MAIN menu) selects the wife's
          parents information in the upper right corner of the display to
          appear in the center.  These traversals are also possible by
          using the Jump command, and entering the page number displayed by
          their information.



          13                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Jump to a Child

          A specific child may be selected by using the Child command ("C"
          from the MAIN menu), followed by the number which appears to the
          left of the child's name.  If only one child exists the program
          will immediately jump to that child's page when you press "C" (no
          child number is required).  You may not select children which do
          not have a valid page number.

          Jump to Another Marriage

          You may jump to a husband or wife's Other Marriage by using the
          OtherMar command ("O" from the MAIN menu).  If both husband and
          wife have other marriages you will be asked to select the desired
          marriage by pressing "H" or "W".

          Spend a few moments moving around your database using the Jump,
          Hpar, Wpar, OtherMar and Child commands.  Use the Details command
          to view additional information on the selected family. Remember,
          you cannot damage your database using the FTP program, as FTP
          only reads your database.  It cannot write or otherwise modify
          your data.


                                PRINTING THE DATABASE

          This portion of the FTP reference focuses on the printing
          capabilities.  Several types of charts may be printed by
          selecting the Print command ("P" from the MAIN menu).  This will
          invoke the PRINT menu.  Throughout this section, the menu being
          described will be shown in a specific format.  This format will
          be explained with the use of the following example:

          PRINT | CONFIG | CHARACTER TRANSLATION

          This means that to select this menu, you first select "Print"
          from the MAIN menu, followed by "Config" from the PRINT menu, and
          finally "Character Translation" from the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  In
          order to enter numbers when prompted, use the numeric keys and
          then press [ENTER]. If the [ESC] key is pressed, the original
          value will be restored.

          PRINT Menu

          The PRINT menu allows you to print your database in various
          formats. Pressing "P" from the MAIN menu will cause the PRINT
          menu to be displayed. The PRINT menu presents the options listed
          below.

          Printing Three Generation Charts

          Pressing "T" from the PRINT menu will display the PRINT | THREE
          GENERATION CHARTS menu.  This menu allows the user to  print the



          14                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Three Generation charts displayed on the monitor.  A  more
          complete description follows in the next section.

          Printing Wall Charts

          Pressing "W" from the PRINT menu will display the PRINT | WALL
          CHART menu.  This menu allows the user to print a chart of the
          starting person's ancestors, descendants, or all people in the
          database, along with their interconnecting links.  This
          capability is described in more detail in a later section.

          Printing Register Reports

          Pressing "R" from the PRINT menu will display the PRINT |
          REGISTER REPORT menu.  This menu allows the user to print the
          descendant history of a starting person, along with an
          alphabetized index.  This capability is described in a later
          section.

          Printing Family Group Sheets

          Pressing "G" from the PRINT menu will display the PRINT | GROUP
          SHEETS menu.  This menu allows the user to print family group
          sheets, along with an alphabetized index.  This capability is
          described in a later section.

          Printer Configuration

          Pressing "C" will display the PRINT | CONFIG menu. This menu
          allows the user to configure certain key character values in
          order to draw boxes and initialize the printer.

          Pressing [ESC] will cancel the PRINT menu and return to the MAIN
          menu.  For the most part, the [ESC] key is used in the program to
          return to the next menu level, terminating finally at the MAIN
          menu.


                          PRINTING THREE GENERATION CHARTS

          PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS menu

          The PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS menu allows the user to print
          the contents of the database in Three Generation chart format.
          This format allows every person in the database to be printed.
          Each chart occupies a printed page.  The chart is in the same
          format as the display screen (described earlier).  The only
          differences are that the printed chart allows up to twenty
          children to be displayed, and the Details chart, which can be
          displayed by pressing the "D" key from the MAIN menu, occupies
          the bottom of the page on the printed chart.  Each person printed
          on the chart has cross references to other charts on which they
          appear.  The cross references are given between the braces
          ({xxxxx}), where "xxxxx" would indicate the page number.



          15                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          References are given for the parents, other marriages and
          children.  The entire database may be easily examined with the
          use of a complete set of these charts.  Pressing "T" from the
          PRINT menu will cause the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS menu to
          be displayed.  The options of the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS
          menu are defined in the following paragraphs.

          Printer Mode Command

          Pressing "P" from the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS menu will
          allow the user to enter a printer control string that will place
          the printer into the mode desired for printing Three Generation
          charts.  This printer control string will be sent to the printer
          prior to printing any of the Three Generation charts.  When the
          program has completed the printing of these charts, it will send
          the "Initialize" printer control string to the printer.  The
          "Initialize" printer control string may be modified from the
          PRINT | CONFIG menu.  All printer control strings should be
          entered as a list of ASCII codes separated by commas (Example:
          "15,27,48" Note: do NOT enter the double quote characters.) Press
          [ENTER] when the string has been completely entered or press
          [ESC] to restore the original string.

          Set Left Margin

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to enter a value for the left
          margin.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart on all pages.

          Set Binding Spaces

          Pressing "B" will allow the user to enter a value for the binding
          spaces.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart only on right hand pages.  The right hand
          pages will have this number of spaces plus the spaces specified
          for Left Margin added to the left of the chart. However, left
          hand pages (double sided printing) will have only the left margin
          spaces added to the left of the chart.  Note that if double sided
          printing is not selected, then all pages are right hand pages and
          the binding spaces will be added.

          Select Double Sided Printing

          Pressing "D" will toggle double sided printing on or off.  If
          double sided printing is selected, then all odd (right hand)
          pages will be printed first and the user will be prompted to
          reverse the paper.  Once the paper has been reversed, the user
          can press any key and the program will print the even (left hand)
          pages on the back of the odd pages.  Page 2 will print on the
          reverse side of page 1, etc.  See the description of left margin
          and binding spaces presented above for positioning the charts
          differently on left and right hand pages.

          Print Font Size



          16                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "F" will select the font size if FTP is being used with
          a PostScript printer.  PostScript printers can be selected from
          the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  Font size will determine the size of
          each printed character, and therefore the size of the Three
          Generation chart.  See the end of this manual for more
          information on PostScript printing.

          Pressing "A" will cause an alignment line to be printed.  This
          line will obey the left margin and binding space settings
          currently in effect.  If double sided printing is selected, then
          two lines will be printed; one for the left hand pages and one
          for the right hand pages.

          Print This (Current) Chart

          Pressing "T" will cause one Three Generation chart to be printed.
          The chart will contain the information that is currently
          displayed on the screen, plus the Details screen associated with
          that page.

          Print a Range of Charts in the Database

          Pressing "R" will cause a range of Three Generation charts to be
          printed.  You will be prompted for the range of pages desired.
          This command utilizes the double sided printing option (if
          enabled) to print a chart set on both sides of the paper.

          Print All Charts in the Database

          Pressing "C" will print a complete set of Three Generation
          charts.  This command utilizes the double sided printing option
          (if enabled) to print a chart set on both sides of the paper.

          Print Modified Charts

          Pressing "M" will cause all Three Generation charts whose
          information has been modified since a certain date to be printed.
          The user will be prompted to enter a date, which must be entered
          in the format "DD-MMM-YYYY", where "DD" is the day (01-31), "MMM"
          is the month (Jan-Dec) and "YYYY" is the four digit year (1989).
          All charts which contain information that has been modified on or
          after that date will be printed.  This command is currently
          supported only in FTP for Family Ties, as PAF and GEDCOM records
          do not contain a field with the date the record was last updated.

          Print Three Generation Chart Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS |
          INDEX menu.  This menu is described in the section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabetized
          index to the Three Generation charts.

          Print Three Generation Charts From the Last Wall Chart

          The PRINT WALLCHART command may be used in conjunction with the
          TREE command from the MAIN menu to print a chart of a selected
          family line.  Pressing "W" from the PRINT | THREE GENERATION
          CHARTS menu will print the charts associated with the last
          generated wall chart, allowing you to print three generation
          charts of a specific family line.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT menu

          Pressing the ESCAPE ([ESC]) key will cancel the PRINT | THREE
          GENERATION CHARTS menu and return to the PRINT menu.


                                PRINTING WALL CHARTS

          PRINT | WALL CHART menu

          The PRINT | WALL CHART menu allows the user to print the contents
          of the database in Wall chart format.  This format prints each
          person in the database on a single Wall chart with no crossed
          lines.  Lines are drawn on the chart to connect spouses and also
          to connect parents with their children.  This version of the
          program removes the crossed lines produced by Pedigree Collapses
          which appeared in earlier versions.  The Wall chart will be
          printed across physical page boundaries.  The pages must then be
          trimmed and taped together to form the complete chart.  Pressing
          "W" from the PRINT menu will cause the PRINT | WALL CHART menu to
          be displayed.  The PRINT | WALL CHART menu options are described
          in the following paragraphs.

          Enable/Disable Horizontal Spacing

          Pressing "S" will toggle the horizontal spacing on or off.  If
          horizontal spacing is on, then a person will not be placed on the
          chart directly next to another person.  Instead, a blank space
          will be inserted between them.  Spouses will still be placed next
          to one another, but people related in ANY OTHER WAY will be
          separated by a blank space.  Note that turning on horizontal
          spacing will cause the chart to be wider, but it will be much
          easier to read.

          Set Horizontal Optimization

          Pressing "H" will allow the user to enter a value for the
          horizontal optimization.  The exact meaning of this item is
          closely related to the Wall chart generation algorithm and not
          easily explained.  Increasing the value of this item will tend to
          trade horizontal space for vertical space.  The user should
          experiment with it to find the most convenient size for the
          chart.  The usefulness of this item will vary depending on the
          structure of family relationships in the database.  If the chart
          is generated, and it is very large horizontally and short



          18                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          vertically, then increase the value of this item and regenerate
          the chart.

          Including Pedigree Collapse Information

          Pressing "I" will allow the user to include all information on
          family lines which contain Pedigree Collapses.  This command is
          only useful on Ancestors or Descendants Charts, as the All
          Persons chart always includes this information.  See the
          following section on Pedigree Collapses for additional
          information.  Use of this command may cause your Wall Chart to
          print with crossed lines and other irregularities under certain
          circumstances.

          Chart Type

          The chart type can be selected by pressing "C" and toggling
          through the available choices.  Chart types currently supported
          are the All Persons wall chart, Ancestors wall chart, and
          Descendants wall chart.  All charts begin with the defined
          starting person and continue outwards.

          Generate Wall Chart

          Pressing "G" will instruct the program to generate a wall chart
          layout using the layout options described above.  When this
          command is entered, the menu will disappear and the program's
          progress will be shown by a chart outline on the screen.  This
          outline is drawn using a box for each person placed on the chart.
          If the database is large, then only a portion of the outline may
          be shown on the screen.  The bottom line of the screen will
          contain a display of the maximum row and maximum column positions
          needed.  This display will change as new persons are placed on
          the chart.  After all persons are placed on the chart, a vertical
          optimization step will begin.  During this step, all people are
          examined to see if they can be moved upward on the chart without
          causing crossed lines.  The Wall chart generation may take a
          substantial period of time to execute if the database is large,
          so be patient.  NOTE: A test is performed after the chart is
          generated and optimized to determine that no two people are
          placed in the same position.  If this occurs, a Collision Error
          will be reported.  Write down the numbers of the individuals who
          have collided, and send this information (along with a copy of
          your database) to the authors. We will make the necessary
          corrections in the program to ensure that the program will
          function with your database.  After the generation is completed,
          a new menu will automatically be invoked, called the PRINT | WALL
          CHART | OPTIONS menu.  This menu is described below.

          Return to Previous Wall Chart

          In the event that you make a mistake and exit the PRINT | WALL
          CHART | OPTIONS menu prematurely, you can return to this menu and
          bypass the process of having to regenerate the chart by pressing



          19                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          "R".  The previously generated chart will be restored and you
          will be returned to the PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu as if
          you had generated the chart.  You may return to this chart at any
          time until you exit the program or generate a new wall chart.

          Load Wall Chart Data From a File

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to load a Wall chart position
          file for printing purposes.  This allows the user to save a chart
          configuration without regenerating it again, then use it later
          for additional printing (Wall chart or associated Three
          Generation charts) or GEDCOM export (last Wall chart option).  As
          in the Return to Previous Wall Chart command above, the chart
          will be restored and you will be returned to the PRINT | WALL
          CHART | OPTIONS menu as if you has generated the chart.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT Menu

          Pressing escape cancels the PRINT | WALL CHART menu and returns
          to the PRINT menu.

          PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu

          This menu allows the user to select printer options which are
          used for printing the Wall chart.  The lower box in the menu does
          not show options but instead displays what the total size of the
          chart would be if it was printed with the printer options
          currently in effect.  As values for the printer options are
          changed, this display will show their effect on the size of the
          chart.  The PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu contains options
          which are discussed in the following paragraphs.

          Set Printer Initialization

          Pressing "P" will allow the user to enter a printer control
          string that will place the printer into the mode desired for
          printing the Wall chart.  This printer control string will be
          sent to the printer prior to printing the chart.  When the
          program has completed the printing of the chart, it will send the
          "Initialize" printer control string to the printer.  The
          "Initialize" printer control string may be modified from the
          PRINT | CONFIG menu.  This command only appears when a PostScript
          printer is NOT used.

          Set Printer Orientation

          Pressing "P" when using a PostScript printer toggles the printer
          orientation between Portrait and Landscape modes.  This can be
          used to make the process of taping together all the various pages
          easier by requiring fewer horizontal pages.

          Set Box Width



          20                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "X" allows the user to set the size of each box on the
          Wall Chart to permit as wide a box as is needed to accommodate
          names.  The default and minimum value for the box width is 11
          characters.  In order to generate the best looking box, set the
          Box Width value to an odd number.  This permits the vertical bars
          connecting parents to children to be centered on the box.

          Set Font Size

          Pressing "F" will select the font size if FTP is being used with
          a PostScript printer.  PostScript printers can be selected from
          the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  Font size will determine the size of
          each printed character, and therefore the width of the Wall
          Chart. See the end of this manual for more information on
          PostScript printing.

          Set Total Lines per Page

          Pressing "T" will allow the user to enter a value for the total
          lines per page.  This value specifies the maximum number of lines
          that the printer can place on a single page.  This value is used
          to determine if a form feed is sent after the last usable line of
          the page has been printed.  If total lines per page is equal to
          usable lines per page then a form feed will not be sent.  This is
          typically used for continuous form paper so that printing each
          column of pages is one continuous operation.

          Set Usable Lines per Page

          Pressing "U" will allow the user to enter a value for the usable
          lines per page.  This value specifies the number of lines that
          should be used on each page when printing the chart.

          Set Page Length (inches)

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to enter a value for the page
          length in inches.  This value is only used to display the printed
          size of the chart which was described above.

          Set Characters per Line

          Pressing "C" will allow the user to enter a value for the
          characters per line.  This value specifies how many characters
          the printer can print on each line.

          Set Line Width (inches)

          Pressing "W" will allow the user to enter a value for the page
          width in inches.  This value is only used to display the printed
          size of the chart which was described above.

          Enable/Disable Printing Dot In Blank Cell



          21                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "B" will toggle this feature on or off.  If it is turned
          on then a blank cell in the Wall chart will have a dot printed in
          the center.  This dot is helpful when following row/column lines
          to locate a person on the chart.

          Print Birth/Death Dates

          Pressing "D" will toggle this feature on or off.  If it is turned
          on then each person on the chart will have the birth and death
          years printed on the lower left and right box outlines
          respectively.

          Enable/Disable Other Marriage Reference

          Pressing "O" will toggle this feature on or off.  If it is turned
          on then a person with more than one marriage will have the
          letters "OM" printed on the upper right box outline.

          Print Three Generation Cross Reference

          Pressing "R" will provide each person on the wall chart with a
          cross reference in the upper left box outline.  If the page
          number cross reference is selected then each person will have the
          page number of their Three Generation chart printed on the upper
          left box outline.  A person that does not appear as husband or
          wife on a Three Generation chart will not have a number printed
          regardless of this feature's selection state. This occurs for all
          unmarried children in the database.  If the record number cross
          reference is selected then each person will have their Family
          Ties of PAF record number in the upper left box outline.  Up to
          five digits will be displayed.

          Print Wall Chart

          Pressing "W" will initiate the printing of the Wall chart.  The
          PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu is removed, and a small window
          is opened to show how much of the chart has been printed.
          Printing the chart may be stopped at any time by pressing the
          [ESC] key.

          Print Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS |
          INDEX menu.  This menu is described in the section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabetized
          index to the Wall chart.

          Save Wall Chart Positions to a File

          Pressing "S" will save the current positions of all people on the
          Wall chart to a file.  This file can be recovered later using the
          Load Wall Chart Data from a File command under the PRINT | WALL
          CHART menu.  The chart can then be re-printed or used for GEDCOM
          export without having to generate it again.  It is suggested that



          22                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Wall charts be saved with the ".CHT" extension in order to keep
          track of all chart files easily.

          Generate New Layout

          Pressing "N" will return to the PRINT | WALL CHART menu.  This
          will allow the user to generate another Wall chart using
          different layout option values.

          [ESC] - Return To MAIN Menu

          Pressing [ESC] cancels the PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu,
          returning to the PRINT menu.


                         PEDIGREE COLLAPSES AND WALL CHARTS

          This section provides additional information on how FTP deals
          with Pedigree Collapses in the generation of Wall Charts for
          Ancestors, Descendants, or All Persons.  The section consists of
          a definition of Pedigree Collapse, followed by how FTP deals with
          it during database conversion, Wall Chart generation, and other
          functions.

          What Is Pedigree Collapse?

          Pedigree Collapse is the term used to describe the situation
          where people are related in more than one way.  Common examples
          of Pedigree Collapse include: the marriage of cousins (they are
          spouses and cousins), two brothers from one family who marry two
          sisters from another family (they are double in-laws), or a woman
          who marries a man, then later marries his brother (the men are
          both a spouse and an in-law).  The current version of Family Ties
          (Version 1.19g) does not allow the genealogist to enter Pedigree
          Collapse information; however, both PAF and GEDCOM
          representations do permit these multiple relationships to exist.

          What Is The Problem With Pedigree Collapse?

          The FTP Wall Chart generation software is designed to display
          your family history information in a clear and concise manner.
          The Wall Charts were designed so that no lines would cross on the
          page, providing a clear understanding of each family and its
          relationships.  Pedigree Collapses would cause crossed lines on
          the Wall Charts, making them difficult to read.

          How Does FTP Solve This Problem?

          FTP uses a two step approach towards Pedigree Collapses.  First,
          Pedigree Collapses are detected during the conversion process
          (FTCONV, PAFCONV, or GED2FTP), and adjustments are made in the
          database to permit proper Wall Chart printing.  These collapses
          are reported during conversion time simply for the user's
          benefit; they do not reflect problems with either the user's



          23                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          database or the FTP program.  These changes to the database do
          not affect the Three Generation Charts, Register Reports, Family
          Group Sheets, Indexes, or GEDCOM export capabilities of FTP.

          Next, Pedigree Collapses are printed on the Wall Charts in a
          unique way.  Each person with a Pedigree Collapse appears on a
          Wall Chart twice; once as a child under their parents (with no
          spouse or siblings), and once as a parent with a spouse and
          children (but no mother or father).  The Row and Column locations
          of this person appear in the outline of the box using "Rxxx
          Cxxx", where "Rxxx" is the Row number and "Cxxx" is the column
          number.  When the Row and Column locations are zero ("R0 C0")
          this means that the person does not appear elsewhere on the chart
          and that this part of the family line has been terminated.  Using
          the "I"nclude Pedigree Collapses command from the PRINT | WALL
          CHART menu will include the second listing of each person who is
          a Pedigree Collapse, but this may sometimes result in charts with
          irregularities.


                              PRINTING REGISTER REPORTS

          PRINT | REGISTER REPORT menu

          The PRINT | REGISTER REPORT menu allows the user to print a
          descendants history narrative in Modified Register format.  This
          format allows every descendant of the starting person in the
          database to be printed.  Each person (and their spouse, if
          present) is printed in one paragraph.  The children of this
          person are then listed, with any children that also have children
          printed again in a separate paragraph in the next generation.
          Children which are continued in the next generation have a "+"
          sign printed in front of their number.  This indicates that this
          family line continues into the next generation.  The report is
          organized by generation, and descendants are grouped by families
          as well as by generation.  Pressing "R" from the PRINT menu will
          cause the PRINT | REGISTER REPORT menu to be displayed.  The
          options of the PRINT | REGISTER REPORT menu are defined in the
          following paragraphs.

          Printer Mode Command

          Pressing "P" from the PRINT | REGISTER REPORT menu will allow the
          user to enter a printer control string that will place the
          printer into the mode desired to print Modified Register reports.
          This string will be sent to the printer prior to printing the
          report.  When the program has completed printing, it will send
          the "Initialize" printer control string to the printer.  The
          "Initialize" printer control string may be modified from the
          PRINT | CONFIG menu.  All printer control strings should be
          entered as a list of ASCII codes separated by commas (Example:
          "15,27,48" Note: do NOT enter the double quote characters.) Press
          [ENTER] when the string has been completely entered or press
          [ESC] to restore the original string.

          Set Font Size

          Pressing "F" will select the font size if FTP is being used with
          a PostScript printer.  PostScript printers can be selected from
          the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  Font size will determine the size of
          each printed character, and therefore the width of the Register
          Report. See the end of this manual for more information on
          PostScript printing.

          Set Left Margin

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to enter a value for the left
          margin.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart on all pages.

          Select Column Width

          Pressing "C" from the PRINT | REGISTER REPORT menu will allow the
          user to select the column width for the Register Report
          paragraphs.  The program will word wrap the text on each
          individual (and their spouse, if they exist) to this column
          width.  Use this command, along with the "L"eft margin command,
          to print the Register report text in the proper location on the
          printed page from left to right.

          Set Usable Lines per Page

          Pressing "U" will allow the user to enter the number of lines
          which may be printed on each page.  The program will print all
          information (including headers and page numbers) within these
          limits.

          Set Top Margin

          Pressing "T" will allow the user to specify how many lines the
          printer must be advanced at the top of a new page.  Use this
          command, along with the "U"sable lines per page command, to print
          the Register Report text in the proper location on the printed
          page from top to bottom.

          Select Double Sided Printing

          Pressing "D" will toggle double sided printing on or off.  If
          double sided printing is selected, then all odd (right hand)
          pages will be printed first and you will be prompted to reverse
          the paper.  Once the paper has been reversed, you can press any
          key and the program will print the even (left hand) pages on the
          back of the odd pages.  Page 2 will print on the reverse side of
          page 1, etc.  See the description of left margin presented above
          for positioning the charts differently on left and right hand
          pages.

          Print the Register Report



          25                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "R" will cause the Modified Register Report to be
          printed.  This command utilizes the double sided printing option
          (if enabled) to print the report on both sides of the paper.

          Print Register Report Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | REGISTER REPORT | INDEX
          menu.  This menu is described in the following section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabetized
          index to the Modified Register report.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT menu

          Pressing the ESCAPE ([ESC]) key cancels the PRINT | REGISTER
          REPORTS menu and return to the PRINT menu.


                            PRINTING FAMILY GROUP SHEETS

          PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu

          The PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu allows the user to print the
          contents of the database in Family Group Sheet format.  Each
          family occupies a printed page, with additional pages used as
          necessary for families with a large number of children.  The
          group sheet contains all birth, christening, death, and burial
          information on a husband and wife, with brief information
          provided on each child.  Each person printed on the chart
          includes their record number in the database for easy reference.
          Each Family Group Sheet is numbered in the same sequence as the
          Three Generation Charts for easy reference.  Pressing "G" from
          the PRINT menu will cause the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu to be
          displayed.  The options of the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu are
          defined in the following paragraphs.

          Printer Mode Command

          Pressing "P" from the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu will allow the
          user to enter a printer control string that will place the
          printer into the compressed print mode desired for printing
          Family Group Shdats.  This pri$ 	 	  ៟			 	 	 1 0	  ៟ 	 	   	 	៟ $		 	 	 		៟$		 	 	   	  ៟	$!8 !1$0  ៟3  	៟	3    	  	 $៟ontrol string will be sent to the printer
          prior to printing any of the Three Generation charts.  When the
          program has completed the printing of these charts, it will send
          the "Initialize" printer control string to the printer.  The
          "Initialize" printer control string may be modified from the
          PRINT | CONFIG menu.  All printer control strings should be
          entered as a list of ASCII codes separated by commas (Example:
          "15,27,48" Note: do NOT enter the double quote characters.) Press
          [ENTER] when the string has been completely entered or press
          [ESC] to restore the original string.

          Set Left Margin

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to enter a value for the left
          margin.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart on all pages.

          Set Binding Spaces

          Pressing "B" will allow the user to enter a value for the binding
          spaces.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart only on right hand pages.  The right hand
          pages will have this number of spaces plus the spaces specified
          for Left Margin added to the left of the chart. However, left
          hand pages (double sided printing) will have only the left margin
          spaces added to the left of the chart.  Note that if double sided
          printing is not selected, then all pages are right hand pages and
          the binding spaces will be added.

          Select Double Sided Printing

          Pressing "D" will toggle double sided printing on or off.  If
          double sided printing is selected, then all odd (right hand)
          pages will be printed first and the user will be prompted to
          reverse the paper.  Once the paper has been reversed, the user
          can press any key and the program will print the even (left hand)
          pages on the back of the odd pages.  Page 2 will print on the
          reverse side of page 1, etc.  See the description of left margin
          and binding spaces presented above for positioning the charts
          differently on left and right hand pages.

          Print Font Size



          16                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "F" will select the font size if FTP is being used with
          a PostScript printer.  PostScript printers can be selected from
          the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  Font size will determine the size of
          each printed character, and therefore the size of the Three
          Generation chart.  See the end of this manual for more
          information on PostScript printing.

          Print Alignment Line

          Pressing "A" will cause an alignment line to be printed.  This
          line will obey the left margin and binding space settings
          currently in effect.  If double sided printing is selected, then
          two lines will be printed; one for the left hand pages and one
          for the right hand pages.

          Print This (Current) Chart

          Pressing "T" will cause one Three Generation chart to be printed.
          The chart will contain the information that is currently
          displayed on the screen, plus the Details screen associated with
          that page.

          Print a Range of Charts in the Database

          Pressing "R" will cause a range of Three Generation charts to be
          printed.  You will be prompted for the range of pages desired.
          This command utilizes the double sided printing option (if
          enabled) to print a chart set on both sides of the paper.

          Print All Charts in the Database

          Pressing "C" will print a complete set of Three Generation
          charts.  This command utilizes the double sided printing option
          (if enabled) to print a chart set on both sides of the paper.

          Print Modified Charts

          Pressing "M" will cause all Three Generation charts whose
          information has been modified since a certain date to be printed.
          The user will be prompted to enter a date, which must be entered
          in the format "DD-MMM-YYYY", where "DD" is the day (01-31), "MMM"
          is the month (Jan-Dec) and "YYYY" is the four digit year (1989).
          All charts which contain information that has been modified on or
          after that date will be printed.  This command is currently
          supported only in FTP for Family Ties, as PAF and GEDCOM records
          do not contain a field with the date the record was last updated.

          Print Three Generation Chart Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS |
          INDEX menu.  This menu is described in the section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabetized
          index to the Three Generation charts.

          Print Three Generation Charts From the Last Wall Chart

          The PRINT WALLCHART command may be used in conjunction with the
          TREE command from the MAIN menu to print a chart of a selected
          family line.  Pressing "W" from the PRINT | THREE GENERATION
          CHARTS menu will print the charts associated with the last
          generated wall chart, allowing you to print three generation
          charts of a specific family line.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT menu

          Pressing the ESCAPE ([ESC]) key will cancel the PRINT | THREE
          GENERATION CHARTS menu and return to the PRINT menu.


                                PRINTING WALL CHARTS

          PRINT | WALL CHART menu

          The PRINT | WALL CHART menu allows the user to print the contents
          of the database in Wall chart format.  This format prints each
          person in the database on a single Wall chart with no crossed
          lines.  Lines are drawn on the chart to connect spouses and also
          to connect parents with their children.  This version of the
          program removes the crossed lines produced by Pedigree Collapses
          which appeared in earlier versions.  The Wall chart will be
          printed across physical page boundaries.  The pages must then be
          trimmed and taped together to form the complete chart.  Pressing
          "W" from the PRINT menu will cause the PRINT | WALL CHART menu to
          be displayed.  The PRINT | WALL CHART menu options are described
          in the following paragraphs.

          Enable/Disable Horizontal Spacing

          Pressing "S" will toggle the horizontal spacing on or off.  If
          horizontal spacing is on, then a person will not be placed on the
          chart directly next to another person.  Instead, a blank space
          will be inserted between them.  Spouses will still be placed next
          to one another, but people related in ANY OTHER WAY will be
          separated by a blank space.  Note that turning on horizontal
          spacing will cause the chart to be wider, but it will be much
          easier to read.

          Set Horizontal Optimization

          Pressing "H" will allow the user to enter a value for the
          horizontal optimization.  The exact meaning of this item is
          closely related to the Wall chart generation algorithm and not
          easily explained.  Increasing the value of this item will tend to
          trade horizontal space for vertical space.  The user should
          experiment with it to find the most convenient size for the
          chart.  The usefulness of this item will vary depending on the
          structure of family relationships in the database.  If the chart
          is generated, and it is very large horizontally and short



          18                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          vertically, then increase the value of this item and regenerate
          the chart.

          Including Pedigree Collapse Information

          Pressing "I" will allow the user to include all information on
          family lines which contain Pedigree Collapses.  This command is
          only useful on Ancestors or Descendants Charts, as the All
          Persons chart always includes this information.  See the
          following section on Pedigree Collapses for additional
          information.  Use of this command may cause your Wall Chart to
          print with crossed lines and other irregularities under certain
          circumstances.

          Chart Type

          The chart type can be selected by pressing "C" and toggling
          through the available choices.  Chart types currently supported
          are the All Persons wall chart, Ancestors wall chart, and
          Descendants wall chart.  All charts begin with the defined
          starting person and continue outwards.

          Generate Wall Chart

          Pressing "G" will instruct the program to generate a wall chart
          layout using the layout options described above.  When this
          command is entered, the menu will disappear and the program's
          progress will be shown by a chart outline on the screen.  This
          outline is drawn using a box for each person placed on the chart.
          If the database is large, then only a portion of the outline may
          be shown on the screen.  The bottom line of the screen will
          contain a display of the maximum row and maximum column positions
          needed.  This display will change as new persons are placed on
          the chart.  After all persons are placed on the chart, a vertical
          optimization step will begin.  During this step, all people are
          examined to see if they can be moved upward on the chart without
          causing crossed lines.  The Wall chart generation may take a
          substantial period of time to execute if the database is large,
          so be patient.  NOTE: A test is performed after the chart is
          generated and optimized to determine that no two people are
          placed in the same position.  If this occurs, a Collision Error
          will be reported.  Write down the numbers of the individuals who
          have collided, and send this information (along with a copy of
          your database) to the authors. We will make the necessary
          corrections in the program to ensure that the program will
          function with your database.  After the generation is completed,
          a new menu will automatically be invoked, called the PRINT | WALL
          CHART | OPTIONS menu.  This menu is described below.

          Return to Previous Wall Chart

          In the event that you make a mistake and exit the PRINT | WALL
          CHART | OPTIONS menu prematurely, you can return to this menu and
          bypass the process of having to regenerate the chart by pressing



          19                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          "R".  The previously generated chart will be restored and you
          will be returned to the PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu as if
          you had generated the chart.  You may return to this chart at any
          time until you exit the program or generate a new wall chart.

          Load Wall Chart Data From a File

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to load a Wall chart position
          file for printing purposes.  This allows the user to save a chart
          configuration without regenerating it again, then use it later
          for additional printing (Wall chart or associated Three
          Generation charts) or GEDCOM export (last Wall chart option).  As
          in the Return to Previous Wall Chart command above, the chart
          will be restored and you will be returned to the PRINT | WALL
          CHART | OPTIONS menu as if you has generated the chart.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT Menu

          Pressing escape cancels the PRINT | WALL CHART menu and returns
          to the PRINT menu.

          PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu

          This menu allows the user to select printer options which are
          used for printing the Wall chart.  The lower box in the menu does
          not show options but instead displays what the total size of the
          chart would be if it was printed with the printer options
          currently in effect.  As values for the printer options are
          changed, this display will show their effect on the size of the
          chart.  The PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu contains options
          which are discussed in the following paragraphs.

          Set Printer Initialization

          Pressing "P" will allow the user to enter a printer control
          string that will place the printer into the mode desired for
          printing the Wall chart.  This printer control string will be
          sent to the printer prior to printing the chart.  When the
          program has completed the printing of the chart, it will send the
          "Initialize" printer control string to the printer.  The
          "Initialize" printer control string may be modified from the
          PRINT | CONFIG menu.  This command only appears when a PostScript
          printer is NOT used.

          Set Printer Orientation

          Pressing "P" when using a PostScript printer toggles the printer
          orientation between Portrait and Landscape modes.  This can be
          used to make the process of taping together all the various pages
          easier by requiring fewer horizontal pages.

          Set Box Width



          20                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "X" allows the user to set the size of each box on the
          Wall Chart to permit as wide a box as is needed to accommodate
          names.  The default and minimum value for the box width is 11
          characters.  In order to generate the best looking box, set the
          Box Width value to an odd number.  This permits the vertical bars
          connecting parents to children to be centered on the box.

          Set Font Size

          Pressing "F" will select the font size if FTP is being used with
          a PostScript printer.  PostScript printers can be selected from
          the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  Font size will determine the size of
          each printed character, and therefore the width of the Wall
          Chart. See the end of this manual for more information on
          PostScript printing.

          Set Total Lines per Page

          Pressing "T" will allow the user to enter a value for the total
          lines per page.  This value specifies the maximum number of lines
          that the printer can place on a single page.  This value is used
          to determine if a form feed is sent after the last usable line of
          the page has been printed.  If total lines per page is equal to
          usable lines per page then a form feed will not be sent.  This is
          typically used for continuous form paper so that printing each
          column of pages is one continuous operation.

          Set Usable Lines per Page

          Pressing "U" will allow the user to enter a value for the usable
          lines per page.  This value specifies the number of lines that
          should be used on each page when printing the chart.

          Set Page Length (inches)

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to enter a value for the page
          length in inches.  This value is only used to display the printed
          size of the chart which was described above.

          Set Characters per Line

          Pressing "C" will allow the user to enter a value for the
          characters per line.  This value specifies how many characters
          the printer can print on each line.

          Set Line Width (inches)

          Pressing "W" will allow the user to enter a value for the page
          width in inches.  This value is only used to display the printed
          size of the chart which was described above.

          Enable/Disable Printing Dot In Blank Cell



          21                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "B" will toggle this feature on or off.  If it is turned
          on then a blank cell in the Wall chart will have a dot printed in
          the center.  This dot is helpful when following row/column lines
          to locate a person on the chart.

          Print Birth/Death Dates

          Pressing "D" will toggle this feature on or off.  If it is turned
          on then each person on the chart will have the birth and death
          years printed on the lower left and right box outlines
          respectively.

          Enable/Disable Other Marriage Reference

          Pressing "O" will toggle this feature on or off.  If it is turned
          on then a person with more than one marriage will have the
          letters "OM" printed on the upper right box outline.

          Print Three Generation Cross Reference

          Pressing "R" will provide each person on the wall chart with a
          cross reference in the upper left box outline.  If the page
          number cross reference is selected then each person will have the
          page number of their Three Generation chart printed on the upper
          left box outline.  A person that does not appear as husband or
          wife on a Three Generation chart will not have a number printed
          regardless of this feature's selection state. This occurs for all
          unmarried children in the database.  If the record number cross
          reference is selected then each person will have their Family
          Ties of PAF record number in the upper left box outline.  Up to
          five digits will be displayed.

          Print Wall Chart

          Pressing "W" will initiate the printing of the Wall chart.  The
          PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu is removed, and a small window
          is opened to show how much of the chart has been printed.
          Printing the chart may be stopped at any time by pressing the
          [ESC] key.

          Print Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS |
          INDEX menu.  This menu is described in the section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabethild ("C") as the starting person.  All
          Wall Chart processing routines will then begin with this person,
          and this person will appear in Green on computers equipped with
          color displays.  The default starting person is the first person
          in the database.

          Selecting Terminating Persons

          A similar set of commands are available to select a terminating
          person using the "T" command from the TREE menu.  As in the



          33                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          "B"egin command, you may then select the current Husband ("H"),
          Wife ("W"), or Child ("C") as a terminating person.  You may also
          select All children ("A").

          Resetting the Tree Configuration

          Typing "R", for Resetting the tree configuration, clears all
          terminating people and sets the starting person to be the first
          person in your database.  This returns you to the configuration
          FTP uses when the program is first started.

          Saving and Recovering Tree Configurations

          Tree configurations can be saved to a file (we suggest you use
          the .TRE extension) using the "S" (Save) command.  These tree
          files can also be recalled again using the "L" (Load) command.
          This permits the user to develop a tree configuration which is
          useful for chart making purposes, then save it for later use when
          the chart may be printed again.


                      GENEALOGICAL DATA COMMUNICATIONS (GEDCOM)

          The GEDCOM Command

          This command converts information in your genealogy database into
          a text file based on the Genealogical Data Communications
          Protocol, called GEDCOM.  As of this release, FTP supports all
          name, place, and date information used with regular and LDS
          Family Ties databases.  It also supports notes and information
          specific to an LDS-defined database, including temple codes and
          ordinance dates.  The PAF version of FTP supports all name, date,
          place, and note information for non-LDS databases.  The GEDCOM
          version of FTP supports all name, date, and place information for
          non-LDS databases.  This GEDCOM implementation has been certified
          for compliance with the Draft Release 5.0 standard, dated
          December 31, 1991.

          The GEDCOM text file can be used in a variety of ways. First,
          many programs (such as PAF and Roots III) will accept
          genealogical data supplied in this format, importing and
          converting it to their own database formats.  Secondly, many
          organizations will soon be accepting data in this format for
          archiving and submittal purposes.  While this capability has
          nothing to do with the printing capabilities of FTP, it was
          included as a "bonus" to aid users in transporting data between
          multiple programs.

          The GEDCOM command is selected by typing the letter "G" at the
          MAIN menu, which will cause the GEDCOM menu to be displayed.  The
          GEDCOM menu presents the options listed below.

          Selecting Upper and Lower Case for Names



          34                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "L" from the GEDCOM menu will select the method used to
          export the last name into the GEDCOM file.  Some genealogy
          programs (such as Personal Ancestral File) assume that the last
          name will be sent with the first letter of the last name
          capitalized, with all succeeding letters in the last name in
          lower case.  Use this command to modify the case of the last name
          as needed to properly export your genealogical data.  Permissible
          options are: leave the last name unchanged (name appears exactly
          as entered), capitalize the entire last name (as is done in many
          reports), or capitalize the first letter of the last name, with
          the rest of the last name placed in lower case.

          Selecting the Contents of the GEDCOM File

          Pressing the "C" key from the GEDCOM menu will select which
          individuals (with their associated name, place, date, marriage,
          and note information) will be included in the GEDCOM file.  You
          may choose to include All People in the database (the default
          configuration), or you may only include those individuals who
          appeared on the last Wall Chart which was generated.  This
          permits a easy method to export only part of a family tree, a
          selection of ancestors, a range of descendants, etc.

          Making the GEDCOM File

          Pressing "M" from the GEDCOM menu allows the user to create the
          GEDCOM file using the specified last name case selection and the
          specified list of individuals.  For the GEDCOM version of FTP,
          this file will be named "INDIVGED.GED".  For the PAF version of
          FTP, this file will be named "INDIV2.GED".  For the Family Ties
          version of FTP, this file will be named "<database>.GED", where
          <database> is the database name of your Family Ties database.
          When the GEDCOM file is completed, the user will be returned to
          the MAIN menu.


                       USING FTP WITH THE HP LASERJET PRINTER

          The following control codes may be used to control the HP
          LaserJet printer.  Selection of these codes may be done at the
          specified menu.  Remember to use the PRINT | CONFIG | Save Config
          command to save this configuration information permanently.

          For the Printer Initialization Mode in the PRINT | CONFIG menu,
            use: 27, 69, 27, 40, 115, 51, 84, 27, 40, 49, 48, 85, 27, 38,
            108, 54, 68.  This performs a Printer Reset, selects the
            Courier Font and the PC Symbol Set, and selects 6 lines per
            inch.

          For the Begin Bold Mode in the PRINT | CONFIG menu, use: 27, 40,
            115, 51, 66.  This selects Stroke Weight 3 (bold).

          For the End Bold Mode in the PRINT | CONFIG menu, use: 27, 40,
            115, 48, 66.  This selects Stroke Weight 0 (normal).



          35                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          For the Printer Mode in the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS menu
            and the PRINT | INDEX menus use: 27, 38, 108, 54, 68, 27, 40,
            115, 49, 48, 72.  This selects 6 lines per inch and 10
            characters per inch.

          For the Printer Mode in the PRINT | WALL CHART | OPTIONS menu,
            use: 27, 40, 115, 49, 54, 46, 54, 72, 27, 38, 108, 56, 68.
            This selects 16.6 characters per inch and 8 lines per inch.
            You will also need to change the number of Characters per Line
            to 132 and the number of Usable lines per page to 84.  If your
            printer requires a form feed at the end of each page, set the
            Total Lines per Page to 85, otherwise use 84.

          For the Printer Mode in the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu use: 27,
            40, 115, 49, 54, 46, 54, 72.  This selects 16.6 characters per
            inch, which permits 132 characters per line.

          These character codes have been verified on the HP LaserJet
          Series II using its own internal fonts.  If problems occur with
          these codes, remove any optional font cartridges, turn off the
          printer and turn it back on to reset its configuration.

          Some printers have problems with Device Time-out Errors in FTP.
          This can be cured by typing "MODE LPT1:,,P" , followed by the
          Return or Enter key.  This command eliminates time-out error
          reporting from the printer.  See your DOS manual for additional
          information.

          key and the program will print the even (left hand) pages on the
          back of the odd pages.  Page 2 will print on the reverse side of
          page 1, etc.  See the description of left margin presented above
          for positioning the charts differently on left and right hand
          pages.

          25                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "R" will cause the Modified Register Report to be
          printed.  This command utilizes the double sided printing option
          (if enabled) to print the report on both sides of the paper.

          Print Register Report Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | REGISTER REPORT | INDEX
          menu.  This menu is described in the following section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabetized
          index to the Modified Register report.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT menu

          Pressing the ESCAPE ([ESC]) key cancels the PRINT | REGISTER
          REPORTS menu and return to the PRINT menu.


                            PRINTING FAMILY GROUP SHEETS

          PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu

          The PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu allows the user to print the
          contents of the database in Family Group Sheet format.  Each
          family occupies a printed page, with additional pages used as
          necessary for families with a large number of children.  The
          group sheet contains all birth, christening, death, and burial
          information on a husband and wife, with brief information
          provided on each child.  Each person printed on the chart
          includes their record number in the database for easy reference.
          Each Family Group Sheet is numbered in the same sequence as the
          Three Generation Charts for easy reference.  Pressing "G" from
          the PRINT menu will cause the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu to be
          displayed.  The options of the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu are
          defined in the following paragraphs.

          Printer Mode Command

          Pressing "P" from the PRINT | GROUP SHEETS menu will allow the
          user to enter a printer control string that will place the
          printer into the compressed print mode desired for printing
          Family Group Shdats.  This pri$ 	 	  ៟			 	 	 1 0	  ៟ 	 	   	 	៟ $		 	 	 		៟$		 	 	   	  ៟	$!8 !1$0  ៟3  	៟	3    	  	 $៟ontrol string will be sent to the printer
          prior to printing any of the Three Generation charts.  When the
          program has completed the printing of these charts, it will send
          the "Initialize" printer control string to the printer.  The
          "Initialize" printer control string may be modified from the
          PRINT | CONFIG menu.  All printer control strings should be
          entered as a list of ASCII codes separated by commas (Example:
          "15,27,48" Note: do NOT enter the double quote characters.) Press
          [ENTER] when the string has been completely entered or press
          [ESC] to restore the original string.

          Set Left Margin

          Pressing "L" will allow the user to enter a value for the left
          margin.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart on all pages.

          Set Binding Spaces

          Pressing "B" will allow the user to enter a value for the binding
          spaces.  The program will add this number of spaces to the left
          of the printed chart only on right hand pages.  The right hand
          pages will have this number of spaces plus the spaces specified
          for Left Margin added to the left of the chart. However, left
          hand pages (double sided printing) will have only the left margin
          spaces added to the left of the chart.  Note that if double sided
          printing is not selected, then all pages are right hand pages and
          the binding spaces will be added.

          Select Double Sided Printing

          Pressing "D" will toggle double sided printing on or off.  If
          double sided printing is selected, then all odd (right hand)
          pages will be printed first and the user will be prompted to
          reverse the paper.  Once the paper has been reversed, the user
          can press any key and the program will print the even (left hand)
          pages on the back of the odd pages.  Page 2 will print on the
          reverse side of page 1, etc.  See the description of left margin
          and binding spaces presented above for positioning the charts
          differently on left and right hand pages.

          Print Font Size



          16                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          Pressing "F" will select the font size if FTP is being used with
          a PostScript printer.  PostScript printers can be selected from
          the PRINT | CONFIG menu.  Font size will determine the size of
          each printed character, and therefore the size of the Three
          Generation chart.  See the end of this manual for more
          information on PostScript printing.

          Print Alignment Line

          Pressing "A" will cause an alignment line to be printed.  This
          line will obey the left margin and binding space settings
          currently in effect.  If double sided printing is selected, then
          two lines will be printed; one for the left hand pages and one
          for the right hand pages.

          Print This (Current) Chart

          Pressing "T" will cause one Three Generation chart to be printed.
          The chart will contain the information that is currently
          displayed on the screen, plus the Details screen associated with
          that page.

          Print a Range of Charts in the Database

          Pressing "R" will cause a range of Three Generation charts to be
          printed.  You will be prompted for the range of pages desired.
          This command utilizes the double sided printing option (if
          enabled) to print a chart set on both sides of the paper.

          Print All Charts in the Database

          Pressing "C" will print a complete set of Three Generation
          charts.  This command utilizes the double sided printing option
          (if enabled) to print a chart set on both sides of the paper.

          Print Modified Charts

          Pressing "M" will cause all Three Generation charts whose
          information has been modified since a certain date to be printed.
          The user will be prompted to enter a date, which must be entered
          in the format "DD-MMM-YYYY", where "DD" is the day (01-31), "MMM"
          is the month (Jan-Dec) and "YYYY" is the four digit year (1989).
          All charts which contain information that has been modified on or
          after that date will be printed.  This command is currently
          supported only in FTP for Family Ties, as PAF and GEDCOM records
          do not contain a field with the date the record was last updated.

          Print Three Generation Chart Index

          Pressing "I" will display the PRINT | THREE GENERATION CHARTS |
          INDEX menu.  This menu is described in the section entitled,
          "PRINTING AN INDEX".  It allows the user to print an alphabetized
          index to the Three Generation charts.

          Print Three Generation Charts From the Last Wall Chart

          The PRINT WALLCHART command may be used in conjunction with the
          TREE command from the MAIN menu to print a chart of a selected
          family line.  Pressing "W" from the PRINT | THREE GENERATION
          CHARTS menu will print the charts associated with the last
          generated wall chart, allowing you to print three generation
          charts of a specific family line.

          [ESC] - Return to PRINT menu

          Pressing the ESCAPE ([ESC]) key will cancel the PRINT | THREE
          GENERATION CHARTS menu and return to the PRINT menu.


                                PRINTING WALL CHARTS

          PRINT | WALL CHART menu

          The PRINT | WALL CHART menu allows the user to print the contents
          of the database in Wall chart format.  This format prints each
          person in the database on a single Wall chart with no crossed
          lines.  Lines are drawn on the chart to connect spouses and also
          to connect parents with their children.  This version of the
          program removes the crossed lines produced by Pedigree Collapses
          which appeared in earlier versions.  The Wall chart will be
          printed across physical page boundaries.  The pages must then be
          trimmed and taped together to form the complete chart.  Pressing
          "W" from the PRINT menu will cause the PRINT | WALL CHART menu to
          be displayed.  The PRINT | WALL CHART menu options are described
          in the following paragraphs.

          Enable/Disable Horizontal Spacing

          Pressing "S" will toggle the horizontal spacing on or off.  If
          horizontal spacing is on, then a person will not be placed on the
          chart directly next to another person.  Instead, a blank space
          will be inserted between them.  Spouses will still be placed next
          to one another, but people related in ANY OTHER WAY will be
          separated by a blank space.  Note that turning on horizontal
          spacing will cause the chart to be wider, but it will be much
          easier to read.

          Set Horizontal Optimization

          Pressing "H" will allow the user to enter a value for the
          horizontal optimization.  The exact meaning of this item is
          closely related to the Wall chart generation algorithm and not
          easily explained.  Increasing the value of this item will tend to
          trade horizontal space for vertical space.  The user should
          experiment with it to find the most convenient size for the
          chart.  The usefulness of this item will vary depending on the
          structure of family relationships in the database.  If the chart
          is generated, and it is very large horizontally and short



          18                                      Family Tree Print Utility


          vertically, then increase the value of this item and regenerate
          the chart.

          Including Pedigree Collapse Information

          Pressing "I" will allow the user to include all information on
          family lines which contain Pedigree Collapses.  This command is
          only useful on Ancestors or Descendants Charts, as the All
          Persons chart always includes this information.  See the
          following section on Pedigree Collapses for additional
          information.  Use of this command may cause your Wal check (payable to Common Sense Software)
          payable in U.S. DOLLARS ONLY (or VISA / MasterCard number) to:

            FTP Registration
