I've no chance to look at them now (sorry, I've had meetings until
now). I'm in Thursday a.m. and will go through Nawal's listing then
and let you know about it.
I don't know of any way to "label" files in FM, win95 and NT both
allow (different) forms of long file names which are more explanatory
but tedious to type (and no use to you!). I'd suggest building up a
subdirectory structure:
sites\s_1\data\main_sav
sites\s_1\data\othersav
sites\s_1\results\lisfiles
... and then the same for s_2 ...
measures\bai\data\main_sav
measures\bai\data\othersav
measures\bai\results\lisfiles
.... then the same for other measures
I'd put the best clean sav files for demog and data in the main_sav
directories and _ANY_ other files that Nawal creates out of those
into the othersav directories (create a further directory structure
if you want to reflect different "other" files, e.g. 1stsonly,
2perpers ...)
This is part of the problem I was trying to flag up about making sure
you _always_ know where the clean and the latest files are. You
should probably create the same structure in the FTP area here (mkdir
and rmdir work to create new directories and to remove directories).
Hope that's helpful.
I've created a list for the four of us (JC, MB, NG & me!). If you
send a message to:
mhf_study@psyctc.sghms.ac.uk
it will automatically get copied to all of us _and_ it should get
added to a WWW archive that is at:
http://psyctc.sghms.ac.uk/mhf/list/index.htm
That is password protected. User name is:
Core_Battery
and password is:
Duracell
both are case sensitive and the underline is necessary.
Hope this works, more communication Thursday/Friday.
