Program	Genealogy ON DISPLAY v6.0.
Hardware	A printer (optional).
Software	Dos 2.1 or later, and BASIC.
To start	This program only recognizes drive A. It requires the following
procedure to install	Create a data disk by copying VERIFILE. and MENU.BAS to a blank disk. If you are unsure about how to copy files, consult the instruction sheet that came with your MicroCom order or consult your DOS manual. Once copied, place your working copy of the program disk into drive A and type "GWBASIC MENU /S:256". At the menu, select one of the options to create a database. When the message "Put data disk in place and press Enter" appears, remove the program disk and insert the newly created data disk into drive A. When the menu appears again, replace the data disk with the program disk. Select another database creation option. Continue swapping the two disks until all required databases have been created.
To end	Enter "0" at main menu.
For help	Enter "GWBASIC PRINTERS /S:256" for the printing of the User Manual.

Notes

Part of The MicroCom Collection, MicroCom Systems' best of public domain and user-supported software library.

Imaged from 5.25″ diskette using a Mitsumi D509V3 floppy drive and a FC5025 USB floppy controller.

The file log is a log of the imaging process.

The source diskette was part of a household collection and may contain e.g. high score files that were not present on the original pristine filesystem. Check timestamps: any file dated 1990-01-01 or later, that isn't mentioned in help.doc, is likely not original.

The file dosbox.conf in the zip file is not original. Its purpose is to slow down emulation.

The file gwbasic.exe in the zip file is not original. It is a copy of gwbasic.exe from https://archive.org/details/gwbasic.exe, included in order to run BASIC programs.
