VCF to binary files

Question

[dr.kthiha82]

Hi everyone. I am newbie in bioinformatics, PLINK and bio linux. Now I've CNV, genome, genotyping, Indels, SNPs, SV files in .vcf format. I would like to convert these file into .map and .ped formats. For .ped I need 6 columns and I knew that I had to create myself in biolinux(is it right?). I need help to enlighten me how to proceed. I have been trapped in this state for 3 days now and I still can't find a clue.
