Jacky, did you see the discussion about the whole area of RSI and qual
software which took place around a month ago? If not, I have archived this
and can forward it on to you
but the main problem is the size of the file. At
first I was able to 'zip' the file, and transport it between the PC in
my office and the lap top at home - now it's got too big (2 kb), so I
have to log on to the server and transfger it on line, which takes
ages - what do other people do??
Yeah, I have had this problem, especially because at the moment I am using
both statistical and qualitative software packages, taking up a LOT of
memory. This has meant that I couldn't install a parallel port Zip drive in
the first place. I have used 'compression' software which compresses files
when not in use, I don't know if that would be of any use to you? The only
other thing would be to try to divide the file into smaller chunks and put
these on separate disks, but that might cumbersome and make analysis across
the transcripts very difficult. Any one else got any ideas?
