This file holds brief info about functions which are not yet added to
the MultiMap documentation.  In fact, no documentation exists for many
of these functions. Documentation can be made available upon request.

I use MultiMap alot, so I am constantly writing little functions to
make my life easier.  If you find something about MultiMap that you
thing could be improved upon, either in general or for your specific,
mapping needs, let me know.  I may already have written just the
funciton you are looking for, or if I have the time I may be willing
to write it for you

1.  Restriction of map building to include only markers with
heterozygosity greater than a user specified level.  Also, functions
to compute the average heterozygosity of a specified set of markers
(e.g. those in the *mapped* list).

2.  MultiMap is now saving run times (total time, and time spent in
each of the 4 crimap functions FLIPS, ALL, FIXED, TWOPOINT) in the
file chrX.time.  If you wish to start a second run of MultiMap (e.g.
your first run bombed or was interrupted), set the keyword :time to T
when starting the MultiMap run (e.g. * multimap 50 :time t).  This
will cause MultiMap to read in the times that are in the file
chr50.time, and subsequent times will be added to these initial
values.

3.  MultiMap has a function built in which can write a LINKAGE
format datafile (i.e. the datain.dat file).
