Re: Graphic Log/Sequence Stratigraphy software ???

The easiest way to enter your data is to copy the format
used in the example files that should have been downloaded
with the application. Look at the format in FRENCHMA.COL,
NOPAH.COL, or sheep SHEEP, open them with your browser or in
an ASCII text writer; I think you can save spread sheet
files in text format. They are simple text formats of strat
data in columns, plus other information, like the name of
the column. If you use the three letter lithology
designations that the After your data are entered in the
proper format, use a short (eight letter) abbreviation for
the file and give it a COL extension.

When you open STRATCOL, you open the file you created by
clicking on the third button from the left in the taskbar
and then browsing to find the file you saved. When you have
selected your file and clicked OK, STRATCOL should then
display the entries you made in your file with a depth
scale.

To change the way the column is displayed, go to
Options>Set. This box allows changes in units (meters/feet),
what is displayed, and how it looks.

You can change the abbreviations and even the lithologies
represented by the graphics. You have to enter the changes
under Options>Set Lithology Patterns.

Sorry about your struggle with STATCOL. Please keep in mind
it is freely provided. In my experience, there is a learning
curve with all freeware and most $$$ware as well.

I hope the above work with the learning curve, assuming you
are still trying.
