Generating DELTA generic descriptions from DELTA species descriptions This requires files 'gesumm.bat' and 'gesumm.box', which are available in the file 'gesumm.zip' at 'http://delta-intkey.com/test/'. Download this file and unzip it in the DELTA directory (usually 'c:\delta'). Open an MS-DOS window and move to the directory containing the species data. If you don't already have a file 'printn' in that directory, enter 'sample printn' to create one. Enter 'confor printn'. This creates a file 'printn.prt' containing a numbered list of the taxon names. Enter 'gesumm'. This creates an Intkey input file 'gesumm.tmp'. Open the species dataset in Intkey, select Advanced Mode, and enter 'file input gesumm.tmp' on the command line. This will create the generic descriptions in geitems.
