The Dynamic Family Tree (International)

The Compiler

  • The DftCom2 compiler is a MS Windows program which converts a single Gedcom file to the set of files required to implement a Dynamic Family Tree
     
  • Compiler options allow the user to determine how the Gedcom file is processed. Using the default option settings, the compilation process is entirely automatic, although some of the more complex options involve a run-time dialogue with the user.
     
  • Includes comprehensive Help facility covering all aspects of compiling a Gedcom file and implementing a Dynamic Family Tree web page.
