EthoLog v1.0c
Ethological transcription tool
**********************************************************************

EthoLog is a tool for the transcription of behavior observation
sessions. The behavioral categories and their key codes are
defined by the user in a text file. EthoLog is designed to deal
with two kinds of events: State Events, which have durations,
and Instant Events, which have times of occurrence (and are
embedded in State Events). You can add Labels to any
registered event, which can act as notes or modifiers. The
transcription sessions can be paused and resumed. 
EthoLog generates two text files with a session summary
and the full sequential and timing data. These files can be
loaded to a spreadsheet for further analyses.

EthoLog 1.0 is FreeWare, and may be freely distributed.

The file etholog1.zip contains the following files:

- etho1c.exe (the program)
- etho.hlp (the winhelp file)
- example.ctg (an example of categories table)
- cmdialog.vbx (VB library)
- toolhelp.dll (the dll with the TIMERINFO routine)
- readme.txt (this file)

Copy them to any directory you want and create EthoLog
Program Manager icon manually (with the "new" option in the
File menu).

This program was created with Visual Basic 3.0 Professional,
so be sure you have the file VBRUN300.DLL in your system
(it can be found in all Windows repositories in the Net;
look for vbrun300.exe or vbrun300.zip...).

Release Note: EthoLog1.0c corrects some bugs from the previous
versions and is the final release of v.1. EthoLog2, with more resources
and an improved interface is now (08/96) entering the beta-testing phase...
