I have read the documentation below, see comments below. I have also 
attached two word files to a separate email to karl, catherine, leah. 
Thanks Karl for the very careful attention you've paid to the 
documentation, once again.

>2. Babase System Architecture
>

Comments on this are in the document doc1_5Jan_SCA.doc, attached 
separately. This all looked fine.

>
>3. Baboon Data: Primary Source Material
>
>     INTERACT_DATA (Interactions)
>     PARTS (Participants in interactions)
>     SAMPLES (focal point Sample set)
>     POINT_DATA (focal Point sample data)
>     FPOINTS (focal Point sample data on Females)
>     NEIGHBORS (focal point sample data on Neighbors)
>     ADLIBS (Adlib focal point sample data)

Comments on these sections are in doc2_5Jan_SCA.doc. For the most 
part this looked good but Karl we need to talk about Samples and a 
couple of others when we speak on Friday.  See also my comments in 
the attachments (I have not sent the attachments to Amboseli, am 
copying this to Amboseli to keep Jeanne sort of informed of progress).

>6. Support Tables
>
>

I read all these but only had a few comments, mostly because I am not 
sure I understand the function or intent. I will probably need some 
guidance from Karl tomorrow to be more helpful.

>
>7. The Babase Views
>
>

Looked fine.

>10. Babase PROGRAMS

Looked fine.

>
>A. Manipulating Date and Time Values

Looked fine.

>
>C. Changes to Babase between 1.0 and 2.0


Note that this is D not C.

>     Changes JPSAMPS and FPSAMPS (and POINT_DATA and FPOINTS)
>     Changes to Time Representation
>     Changes to the All-Occurrences and Ad-Lib Focal Point Data
>
Mostly all looked fine but I didn't read these so carefully.
