MAXPED cannot be determined before CFACTOR is applied to the data, but twice the actual number of pedigrees is probably a safe minimum value.
CFACTOR takes IPEDFILE and DATAFILE as input, and produces TEMPPED and TEMPDAT. When CFACTOR finishes it displays in a box on screen the (new) number of pedigrees and total number of indiv- iduals it wrote into the TEMPPED file. To read this information you may have to temporarily stop the PEDIN batch file (using Ctrl-S, and use Ctrl-Q to get it going again). Alternatively, insert a PAUSE statement after each occurrence of the CFACTOR statement such that the program stops after CFACTOR has executed.
