Program to Extract Data from Ancestry DNA

The following (lightly edited) was posted on another company's forum today. I have not tried the program (not Mac-compatible) and have no other details:

" [There is] a new program Rob Warthen has written for DNAgedcom. It "scrapes" total cM for matches at Ancestry somehow by using Timber. I have no idea how he has accomplished this but [name deleted] ran his program for and the total cM are pretty close for [a related] family (mother, uncle, sister [taking into account lack of accounting for fully-identical segments], first cousin once removed) who have tested elsewhere. [Name deleted] said Rob might post about it on his blog tomorrow but the only thing I can find on it now is an opportunity to subscribe to DNAgedcom at a higher level (5 bucks a month) and download the app (which I can't do on the computer I'm using right now). [Name deleted] also said that she expects that Ancestry will try to block the app when they discover it exists. So I thought I'd give you all a heads-up.

Rob's program also creates match lists and ancestors-of matches lists that are similar to the ones generated by Jeff Snavely's program"
