INSTALLING FAMILY ORIGINS DEMO
------------------------------
Insert the disk into the floppy drive and from the Program Manager's File
menu select Run.  Enter A:\SETUP or B:\SETUP as the command to run.  Follow
the instructions on screen.

RUNNING FAMILY ORIGINS DEMO
---------------------------
Double click on the Family Origins for Windows icon to begin running the
program.  The first screen will only allow you to create a new database,
or open and existing one.

Click on the NEW button on the toolbar.  Then enter a descriptive name
for your database (for example: John Smith's ancestors).


ENTERING PEOPLE
---------------
The first screen you see is a blank 5 generation pedigree chart.  As you add
people to your database, their names will appear on this pedigree chart,
linked to their parents, spouses, and children.

To add people to your database, select Add from the main menu.  A submenu
will appear to ask if you want to Add an Individual, Parents, Spouse, or
Child.  Select Individual for the first person (you may also click the
toolbar button with the Add symbol and the letter I for "individual").

A data entry form will appear where you can enter the person's name, sex, and
other information.  When you have finished filling out the form, press Alt-S
to save the information.

To add parents, spouses, or children to the person you just entered, make
sure the highlight bar is on his/her name, and select Add again.  You may
now elect to add Parents, a Spouse, or a Child to the highlighted person
(or use the other Add buttons on the toolbar).

You will be asked if you want to create a new record for this person you
are adding.  Select Yes to bring up a blank entry form to fill out for the
new person(s).  When you press Alt-S to save, the new person will appear in
the appropriate position on the main pedigree chart.


PRINTING CHARTS AND REPORTS
---------------------------
To print charts and reports, select Reports from the main menu.  Then select
the type of chart or report you want from the pull down menu.  After you
have selected the chart type, you may see a dialog box with various options
for your printout.  Your printout will appear on the screen in a scrollable
window.  You may select Print from that window to send your printout to the
printer.

Many of the charts need a "starting person" for the chart.  Family Origins
will automatically use the person whose name was highlighted on the main
screen as this starting person.  For example, if you want to print a 
pedigree chart for yourself, highlight your name on the main screen, then
select: Reports PedigreeChart, then select your options.


OTHER COMMANDS
--------------
Just experiment with the other commands on the main menu.


EXITING FROM FAMILY ORIGINS
---------------------------
To exit from Family Origins, select Exit from the File menu, or click on
the EXIT button on the toolbar.
