We are _nearly_ ready to release a version of DOLINK - kind of utility
program which acts as an interface between some kind of standard
database and a variety of genetic analysis programs (including LINKAGE
and CRIMAP). If you have some kind of short-term emergency I would be
glad to make this available to you now. You would still have to a little bit
of hacking around to get the ped file into the correct format for DOLINK
(it accepts a standard string-delimited-field file, as import/exported
from LINKSYS) but I think it would be easy to do this with any standard
editor which supported macros. Contact me for furher info -
