** ABOUT **

Pathalizer is a website logfile analysis tool. However, where most other 
such tools basically just count hits, pathalizer tries to visualize *how* 
people are visiting your site: it creates a graphical overview of the paths 
most people take though the site.

In short, pathalizer generates a directed, weighed graph from an apache log 
(but it's easy to modify the first part of the process to use pathalizer for 
lists of other events).

For more info, see: http://pathalizer.bzzt.net (or mail arnoutpa@bzzt.net)

Where most logfile analysis programs tell you who your visitors are and where 
they come from, pathalizer tells you how they traverse your site.
