===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
Hi
Thank you for taking a look at the ECOGENE application (a program for
the analysis of gene dynamics, by Wye Software.
Last minute changes would be reported here but all the files should be
up to date. This file contains only a brief description of the program.
Detailed information is provided by the included files (see packing.lst)
and a extensive help file (ecogene.hlp). Please read these sometime
after setup.
Ecogene is Windows(r) application for the analysis of gene dynamics in
socially structured population. It uses commonly collected ecological
and behavioral data to estimate the change in gene correlations (a
measure of genetic variation), inbreeding coefficients (a measure of
how variation is apportioned in a population), and effective population
sizes (a measure of the rate of loss of variation).
Ecogene provides a easy and intuitive interface for entry of ecological
parameters, and each entry is cross-checked to ensure it is within
its allowable. This feature ensures that even novice users can produce
reliable results and it aids in learning the basics of the ecology of
social systems.
Ecogene provides two means of viewing results. First, the results are
presented in tabulated form in an Results Pane. These data may be
cut and pasted in other applications, such a spreadsheets or statistical
packages, for further analysis. Of course, the data may be saved an
imported into any application that can translate ASCII text files. The
second means of viewing the results is with graphs. Graphs are presented
for each of the types of data (correlations, inbreeding, and effective
size). These views may also be saved and printed.
Ecogene comes with two types of online help, each available through the
help menu. ECOGENE.HLP provides the basics for running the application,
and ECOMAN.HLP is a guide for understanding the basics of the underlying
models. It is strongly recommended that the end user consult both to
get the most out of the application.

===== Installation =====================================
General Information
This distribution contains a compressed archive of all the files
necessary to run ECOGENE. This file (ECOGENE1.ZIP) should be copied
to a temporary directory. The archive can then be "unzipped" using
either PKUNZIP or WINZIP. The files contained in the archive are:
ECOGENE.EXE The executable program file
ECOGENE.HLP The user's guide
EGMANUAL.HLP The study guide
BIVBX11.DLL A redistributable form of the Visual Basic Control Library
routines used by the program
CHART2FX.VBX A redristibutable form of the Visual Basic Control used for
charting.
The DLL and VBX files are usually stored in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory; however, this is not necessary. I find it easier to remove
all traces of an application if all its associated files are in the
same directory, so I just leave this files in the same directory as the
executable program. You, of course, may do what every you like. Just
remember, these files must be in a directory included in the PATH
statement of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you decide to move them.
To Install the ECOGENE program:
1) Create a directory for the program (i.e. C:\ECOGENE)
2) Copy the file listed above from the temporary directory to the
directory created in step 1.
Running the Gene Dynamics⌐ program
There are several ways to run the ECOGENE program. You can
simply double click on the file name (ECOGENE.EXE) in the File
Manager, or you can use the Run command in the File Menu of the Program
Manager. If you would like to make a group and add an icon for the
Program Manager, follow these directions
1) From the Program Manager's File menu, choose New
2) Click on the Program Group radio button and press OK.
3) In the Description field enter the name you would like to use (i.e.
WyeSoft)
4) From the Program Manager's File menu, choose New
5) Make sure the Program Item radio button is selected and press OK
6) In the Description field enter the name for the program (i.e.
Ecological Genetics 1.0)
7) Press the Browse button
8) Navigate to the directory where you installed the program
9) Double click on the name of the program (ECOGENE.EXE)
10) Click on the OK button in the Program Item Properties dialog
Note: if you already have a program group that you would like to add the
icon to, simply omit steps 1-3.
