Anthropology files for Shoebox 4 and later
September 2000

Shoebox provides files that you can use for 
anthropology research. The Shoebox Setup/Installer
program copies the files to the Anthro subfolder
that is in the Shoebox program folder. 

1. Exit Shoebox, if it is running.

2. Copy Anthro.prj, AnthNote.typ, and AnthCat.typ to the
user settings folder (default: My Shoebox Settings).

3. Copy AnthNote.db and AnthCat.db to an appropriate data
folder (e.g., C:\Ublek\Anthro).

4. Double-click Anthro.prj in your user settings folder
to start Shoebox. Note: because the database files have been
moved, Shoebox will prompt you for their new locations.
You must navigate to your data folder so that Shoebox
will know to open the databases that you copied.

5. Enter your cultural observations in the AnthNote.db
anthropology notes database. After you have added a
few of your own entries, you can delete the sample record.

6. As you analyze data that you have collected, enter your
conclusions and hypotheses in the appropriate topic records
in the AnthCat.db anthropology analysis database.


For more information, read The Linguist's Shoebox:
Application Guide for Anthropology. In addition to being
available as a printed book, the electronic document
ShAnthro.pdf is included on the Shoebox CD. (It is in 
Portable Document Format and can be read using Adobe Acrobat
Reader, which is included as an "Extra" on the
Shoebox CD.)
