======================================================================

GED2TPD is a conversion utility to transform a GEDCOM file into a
TreePad HJT file, where each family is shown in the usual "family group
sheet" style, with children connected as tree nodes.



INSTALLATION
------------
1.  Run G2Tsetup.EXE which will unzip the setup files into a directory of your choice.  A new temp dir can be created at run time.
2.  Run INSTALL.EXE from the temp dir and follow the prompts.  Everything will be set up for you.
3.  You may then delete the temp directory created in step 1.

A few .dll files are required to execute GED2TPD so they needs to be in
the same directory as ged2tpd.exe.  This program does not install
anything to the Windows directories or the registry.

UN-INSTALL
----------
Delete the original install directory (usually c:\program files\ged2tpd)
and the program group entry under the Start/Programs menu.


USAGE NOTES
-----------

For information on the parameters, see the ged2tpd.html help file.

To interrupt execution, press CTRL+C in the console window.

There are certain data conditions which can cause GED2TPD to loop.  If
you notice that the "dots" have stopped and the program does not seem to
be progressing, give it a few minutes, then press Ctrl+C to stop the
program.

GED2TPD is sufficiently verbose that you can tell when it has stopped making
progress.  If you detect a loop, you can try to debug it yourself by
looking at the output, if there is any, to see if the same two people
are repeating.  (This can happen if you make a mistake in your genealogy
program and assign a man's brother to be his wife instead.  Not that
I've done that or anything. :-)

If you can't figure it out, send me a copy of your GED file and let me
know any parms that you started with and I'll see if I can debug it for
you.
