DESCRIPTION
llines invokes the LifeLines genealogy program.

Possible locations for Lifelines configuration file Lifelines looks for a configuration file for
various settings. See section System And User Properties in the userguide for details.
DOCUMENTATION
The LifeLines documentation should be installed as part of the installation, and may also be viewed at
the project site: http://lifelines.sourceforge.net. Look for ll-userguide and ll-reportmanual (with
appropriate extensions for text, html and pdf formats). The normal installation process includes a large
number of sample report programs that you can customize to suit your needs. In the directory containing
these reports you should find a file named index.html which gives a very brief summary of each report.
