Have a look at http://www.textanalysis.info and download programs as
much as you like and test them. Then buy the one which is most
appropriate. There is BTM no best program, each software has its pros
and cons. Did you have a look at the Weitzman/Miles computer software
rsource book. Although outdated, the criteria for evaluating
QDA-software are excellent.
