• This program helps you to enter CAVE Extraction information so that the extractions are formatted in a way that is useful to the other programs.
• The CAVE Entry Program prompts you to enter an ID Number for each extraction, then the event statement, and then, the attribution statement.
• Your work is then saved in an ASCII File so the extraction order can be randomized by the CAVE Randomizing Program or coded with the CAVE Coding Program.
• The CAVE Entry Program has instructions built in to walk you through the entry process.

• First, the CAVE Randomizing Program will read a file of extractions and randomize their presentation order by writing a file with the extension '.rnd' appended to the end of the filename.
• Second, the CAVE Randomizing Program also offers you instructions on how to format CAVE Extraction files with the word processor or text editor of your choice rather than using the CAVE Entry Program.

The CAVE Randomizing Program has instructions built in to walk you through the randomizing process.

• First, the CAVE Coding Program provides a tutorial for CAVE Coders to brush up on CAVE Coding Rules.
• Second, the CAVE Coding Program reads CAVE Extraction files prepared with the CAVE Entry Program or a word processor or randomized by the CAVE Randomizing Program. Extractions are presented one at a time on the screen and are rated along the 3 attribu tional style dimensions. CAVE Ratings are then written to an ASCII file for easy import into a database.

An evolving program that is speeding up the CAVE extracting process immensely. What takes a human hours can be accomplished by a computer in literally seconds.
