We have been using Cherwell Scientific's CYRILLIC pedigree drawer  for a couple
of years, the old version was a bit limited but the version 2 is a very useful n
ot onlt for pedigree graphics but also to collate data for input into LINKAGE. T
here a couple of bugs but the suppoet people are fast and polite which tends to
make all the difference.
