There is no logical limit to the number of generations you can have for each family tree. There are provisions currently in the program to handle 90 different family trees with 200 people and marriages per family tree. Both of these last two numbers will be increased in the future. There is only one file (EZT.EXE) you need to run EZ-Tree. To start the program simply key in EZT and press the ENTER key. The program will create other files that it uses to store information in: CONFIG.EZT used to store program configuration info. FAMILY.EZT used to store an index to the family trees. TREE1.EZT - TREE90.EZT stores all the family tree data. Presently there are six reports that can be produced by using the F9 (list) key. More will be added later. You can get detailed information about the person currently highlighted by the cursor, a report on all people in the current family tree, and a list of all descendents of the person currently highlighted by the cursor. The detailed report and the report on all people have reference numbers listed in front of each person. This lets you locate information on a person by that reference number because the report is produced in reference number sequence. The descendents report puts an asterisk in front of people who are related by marriage, but are not actually in the blood line. A listing can be directed to your printer or to the screen and it can be cancelled any time by pressing the ESCAPE key. You can link trees together to track large numbers of people. There is also a Pedigree Chart, Tree Statistics, and an Inquiry Form that can be printed and sent to others to gather information. Hardware Requirements: IBM compatible computer, 512K RAM. Other Requirements: MS-DOS 2.0 & higher or DR-DOS 3.4 & higher.
