1. Enter the number of rows you need for analysis (number of month- or year age categories).
2. Enter the step time (might be 5 years for human populations).
3. Enter the start-at age (Usually 0).
4. Press the generate button and then fill in the observed number alive for each age class. NOTE: This is cumulative! If you have 10 animals and 5 are 1 year old and 5 are two years old, the 1 year box gets 10 input (since all the 2 years old had to be 1 years old at one time) while the 2 year box gets 5 (for the current 2-year old).
5. When finished entering your data, press the cipher button and the table is completed.
6. You can copy the table to the clipboard, then to a Word or Excel document.
7. Press the Show Graph button to see a graph. You can copy the entire screen to the clipboard using the "Alt-PrintScreen" keys, then crop the image in a paint package before pasting in a Word Document.
