Abstract

Eventlog is a software package that transforms a computer into a tool for recording real-time events. By suspending normal keyboard operations, the user is able to define each key to act as a timer for a specific event. The precise times at which specific keys are pressed and released are recorded in a file for later use. Simultaneous and overlapping events can also be recorded. The ease of use and the flexibility of the software make it one of the best computer programs to come along in some time.
