The program constants are set to the following maxima:
     8  loci in mapping problem (maxlocus)
    25  alleles at a single locus (maxall)
 50000  maximum of censoring array (maxcensor)
  5000  individuals in all pedigrees combined (maxind)
  1500  pedigrees (maxped)
    25  binary codes at a single locus (maxfact)
     3  quantitative factor(s) at a single locus
    60  liability classes
