LifeLines Source Release, Version 3.0.4, 15 December 1999 This is the source distribution of the LifeLines system, a genealogy software system. Execute either: sh build SYSV or sh build BSD depending on your UNIX version (SYSV for AT&T, BSD for Berkeley). You will end up with two executables in the ./bin subdirectory: lines302 -- main LifeLines system program btedit302 -- general purpose btree edit program Don't use btedit unless you know exactly what it does. It is a superuser administration tool for unmangling mangled databases -- powerful, but deadly. It is rarely, if ever, needed. I am the author of all LifeLines code, and hereby release it under the MIT-style license located in the file LICENSE provided with this source kit. There is a reference guide in ./docs/quickref.ps.Z.uu. Run uudecode and uncompress on that file to retrieve the postscript file of the manual. Questions? You can write me or e-mail me: Thomas T. Wetmore IV 2 Barton Street Newburyport, MA 01950 USA ttw@shore.net
