Wolfgang - If I understand the question correctly, you want to convert a .vcf file to an alternate format in which the genotypes for one individual at multiple sites are all on one row in the file, rather than in one column as in .vcf. This is ".ped and .map" format. I think 'plink' software (among others) will convert .vcf to .ped and .map format.
