E-Kick

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear E-Prime List,
    Paul Groot of the Free University of Amsterdam has contributed a  
useful utility to the collection of scripts and utilities at http:// 
step.psy.cmu.edu/scripts-plus/.  It is called E-Kick. This utility  
can specify start-up information (such as subject number) by using  
command line parameters. With this utility, you can create batch  
files for test batteries or you can start E-Prime from another  
application, such as PowerPoint or Authorware. E-Kick also allows  
users to specify a custom output location (and filename) for the data  
files. The latest version also has some support for running user  
defined subroutines before and after the test. A read-me with more  
information is included in the attached zip-file.
    Many thanks to Paul for this useful contribution.
