Printout of $Q$ when using prior population information

When the program is run with prior population information, the printout is a bit different. Here I have run the same data with$K=3$, USEPOPINFO=1, and GENSBACK = 1: 
 
          Label (%Miss) Pop :
        1 17   (0) 2 : 0.998 | Pop 1: 0.000 0.001 | Pop 3: 0.000 0.000
        2 1219 (7) 2 : 1.000 | Pop 1: 0.000 0.000 | Pop 3: 0.000 0.000
        3 1223 (0) 2 : 0.612 | Pop 1: 0.000 0.000 | Pop 3: 0.004 0.383
        4 1329 (7) 1 : 1.000 | Pop 2: 0.000 0.000 | Pop 3: 0.000 0.000 
        5 15   (0) 3 : 0.999 | Pop 1: 0.000 0.001 | Pop 2: 0.000 0.000



        In general, the first column of results (following ``Pop : '') shows the posterior probability that the individual in question is correctly assigned to the given population. The subsequent columns show the probabilities that it is from, or has ancestry in, the other populations. There are GENSBACK+1 entries for each of the other populations, showing the probability that an individual is from that population, has a parent, grandparent, great-granparent,... etc, from that population (in this order). For example, reading from row 3: Individual 1223 (who has 0% missing data) is actually from the presumed population (2) with probability 0.612. There is (approximately) zero posterior probability that this individual has recent ancestry in population 1, but it may have recent ancestry in population 3 (the probabilities are 0.004, and 0.383, that the individual is from population 3, or has a single parent from population 3, respectively).
