 "scion.datatype" is a datatype for use with databases created by Scion
 Genealogist version 5 or later. Refer to the documentation supplied
 with Scion Genealogist (available separately) for further information
 about the programme.

 When used with Multiview (for example), "scion.datatype" will display
 summary information about all the people in the database. For example,
 each line will display something like -

      123 DOE, John °:4 Apr 1946 +:23 Jun 1996

 where: the number (123) is the IRN, ° means "born" and "+" means "died".

 If the birth date is absent, but there is a baptism date, then the baptism
 date will be used instead and displayed as "º". For example -

      123 DOE, John º:5 Jun 1946 +:23 Jun 1996

 If the death date is absent, but there is a burial date, then the burial
 date will be used instead and displayed as "±". For example -

      123 DOE, John °:4 Apr 1946 ±:29 Jun 1996

 Month abbreviations will be localised if possible. If localisation in your
 current language is not possible, months will be displayed in English.

 "scion.datatype" will not display any details about families. If you want
 this information, use the reporting features of Scion Genealogist itself!

 For the technically inclined, "scion.datatype" is a sub-class of the
 "text.datatype".
