March 25, 2019: I made it easier for EthiCola to display properly in some Asian versions of Windows. January 11, 2018: The third edition of my ETHICS: A CONTEMPORARY INTRODUCTION (Routledge 2018) textbook is out, and I updated EthiCola (including the exercises and class slides) for the new edition. You can get the book from either of of the first two links below (the next two links sketch changes from earlier editions): • http://www.amazon.com/dp/081537867X • http://www.routledge.com/9780815378679 • http://www.harryhiker.com/ec/index.htm#3 • http://www.harrycola.com/ec/index.htm#3 I set up a second site, harrycola.com, to mirror my main harryhiker.com site. So now there are two EthiCola download pages (if one isn't working, the try the other one): • http://www.harryhiker.com/ec • http://www.harrycola.com/ec June 27, 2017: I did some minor changes on EthiCola. I'm mostly done writing the third edition of my ETHICS textbook. March 14, 2017: I'm working on a third and much improved edition of my ETHICS: A CONTEMPORARY INTRODUCTION; this should be out in January 2018. I added five new exercises for my Loyola students, who are using a pre-release version of Chapters 7 to 9 for the upcoming third edition: Ethics 17 (for chapter 7), Ethics 18 (for chapter 8), Ethics 19 (for chapter 9), Ethics 19r (review of 7-9), and Ethics 19z (review of 0-9). Oct 10, 2015: I added a portrait mode for the EthiSkor score processor; this helps you to show both MAIL and EthiSkor on the screen at the same time. I strengthened the warning against students deleting lines when sending scores by e-mail. And I added a NETWORK MODE, whereby students are asked to insert a flashdrive for the score file and various other files; rename EthiCola.exe to EthiNet.exe (capitalization not important) to have it run in network mode. Aug 15, 2015: I made some changes to help the program work better with Windows 10. Aug 16, 2014: EthiCola now works better using multiple monitors. I've moved back to Loyola University Chicago (where I'm professor of philosophy). Aug 31, 2013: I cut the dropbox.com download site, since it was unreliable; Dropbox only permits low-usage Web hosting. Feb 2, 2013: You can now do EthiCola using only touch, only mouse, only keyboard, or any combination of these; EthiCola works very nicely on the new Windows-8 tablets or on larger touch-screen monitors (but it won't run on the underpowered Windows-RT tablets). Also, just coming out is my new ETHICS AND THE GOLDEN RULE -- see http://www.routledge.com/9780415806879 -- which grew out of 45 years of reflection on Earth's most important moral principle. Jul 24-30, 2012: Started using harryhiker.com to store EthiCola. Apr 14, 2012: Improved the directions for sending scores by email and changed TOOLS | UPDATE to make use of alternative EthiCola download pages (in case one doesn't work, which at times has happened). Mar 1, 2012: Removed the UPX compression that made the program smaller but also made it be rejected by some anti-virus programs. Dec 17, 2011: This adds a Mac EthiCola that can run on recent Macs as a self-contained Mac application; just copy it to your Mac and double-click it to start. Http://www.harryhiker.com/ec/mac.htm tells how to set this up. This Mac EthiCola uses an ingenious "Wineskin wrapper" technology from Doh123 (see http://wineskin.doh123.com). I also tweaked EthiCola to run better on Mac and Linux, added Cloud Sync, improved the display of scores on EthiCola, and made further improvements and bug fixes. I removed the auditory-mode feature, since it crashes frequently; if there is enough demand for this feature, I may try to fix and restore it. July 15, 2010: I added exercise sets and class slides for the second edition of my Ethics: A Contemporary Introduction, which would be published in January 2011. Exercise sets from "Ethics 00" through "Ethics 10" are the same for both editions; exercise sets from "Ethics 11" onward are different. And you can now at http://www.zazzle.com/harrygensler* get golden rule t-shirts and mugs. Jan 26, 2010: I tweaked the content of the exercises as I tweaked the corresponding book chapters for the second edition. Dec 13-12, 2009: EthiCola now doesn't crash under Wine (in Linux or Mac), and the EthiCola download page now has detailed tutorials for running EthiCola in Linux or Mac using the free Wine program. December 6, 2009: The first official version of EthiCola is released. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EthiCola contains some Bitstream Vera Fonts; they're free to include, but I have to include the copyright notice below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bitstream Vera Fonts Copyright The fonts have a generous copyright, allowing derivative works (as long as "Bitstream" or "Vera" are not in the names), and full redistribution (so long as they are not *sold* by themselves).
