Dear Julie, 
First, about me: 
I am a student at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), 
Natal - RN, Brazil. The SST is part of my work as scholarship holder in the 
MUsA - Morfologia e Usos da Arquitetura - a research group dedicated to 
study relations between form and uses of architecture, created and 
coordinated by Dr. Edja Trigueiro. The main reason to create SST is the 
fact that the unique Machintosh machine in our laboratory is very outdated 
and doesn't function well too. Beside, my Campus in Caicó-RN is about 300km 
far from the Central Campus in Natal-RN and doesn't have Machintosh 
computers. 

Second, how to utilize the SST: 
Decompress the sst.zip file in a folder in your computer (for example 
C:\SST).
Four folders will be available: AxAnim, SST-AV, SST-C and DOCS.
C:\SST
    |-AxAnim
    |  |-README.TXT
    |  |-SST.FAS
    |
    |-DOCS
    |  |-TUTORIAL
    |  | |-S_negra.bmp 
    |  | |-S_negra.dxf 
    |  |
    |  |-Sst_Tutorial.doc
    |  |-5th-SSS_Paper_159.doc
    |
    |-SST-AV
    |  |-language_EN_US.txt
    |  |-language_PT-BR.txt
    |  |-Sst.ini
    |  |-sst_cbX.exe
    |  |-sst_legend.avl
    |
    |-SST-C 
    |  |-Readme.txt
    |  |-sst.exe
    |  |-sst.ico
    |  |-SST_C.exe
    |
    |-Sst-av.avx

The AxAnim is an application written in AutoLISP for AutoCAD (2000 or 
latter), primarily utilized to generate a text file containing the axial 
map coordinates. 
The folder AxAnim has only two files: README.TXT – a single user’s guide, 
and SST.FAS – the compiled AutoLISP code.
See the 5th-SSS_Paper_159.doc file (paper presented at the 5th Space Syntax 
Symposium) in the folder C:\SST\DOCS\ and the README.TXT in C:\SST\AxAnim\ 
for details about how to use and other capabilities and limitations.
To execute AxAnim:
a) Draw the axes of an axial map utilizing the Line tool (not Polyline), 
make
sure that all lines are connected and save the file before execute de next 
steep;
b) Choose command "Load" in the "Tools -> AutoLISP" menu;
c) Select the "sst.fas" file and click the "Load" button;
d) Click on the "Close" button.
e) Type SST from the Command Line;
f) In the dialog box (Layer dos Eixos), select the Layer that contains the 
Axial Map;
g) Select the parameter to be displayed (Exibir Inicialmente) and click on 
button OK.

The SST-C is a software written in C language, whose function is to 
calculate the most common space syntax parameters from the coordinates file 
and save them in text format.
To execute SST-C:
a) Execute the SST_C.exe file;
b) Select the "Abrir" command on the "Arquivo" menu;
c) Select a coordinates file previously created and click on 
button "Execute".
See the 5th-SSS_Paper_159.doc file (paper presented at the 5th Space Syntax 
Symposium) in the folder C:\SST\DOCS\ and README.TXT file in C:\SST\SST-C\ 
for details.

The SST-AV is an extension for ArcView 3.2, which can combine data from 
both the coordinates file created by the AxAnim and the file containing the 
parameters previously calculated by the SST-C, to create axial maps in 
chromatic themes. The creation of axial maps in ArcView itself is also 
possible by utilizing the line tools over a bitmap or vectorial formatted 
base map. Those lines will be converted into a theme and a table containing 
the coordinates and the identity number for each axis will be created. 
Thus, the SST-AV can also be utilized in an independent way to create axial 
maps, which will be later processed.
The topic 5.1 in the 5th-SSS_Paper_159.doc (in English) shows details how 
to utilize the extension. The file SST_2.DOC (in Portuguese only, 
translations are welcome) is a more detailed tutorial.

The C:\SST\DOCS folder contains documentation and files utilized by the 
tutorials. 

And at last, despite my evident difficulty to write in English, I am very 
glad to help you.
