Combi
"COMBI" is a small console based program which evaluates all combinations of mentioned brands, image items or other multiple statement questions from a respondend level ASCII data file. All categories of combinations in the output are sorted by the number of appearance. The "combi" tool can process simple filters and can even count weighted data. The output can be a text file or a character separated file for EXCEL import. Please note that the description of this tool (included in combi.par) is in german. If someone could translate it to english ... For testing, please download and unpack the binaries into a directory of your choice, open a DOS or Linux box, change to the directory containig the unpacked combi files and type "combi TESTDATA output.txt".

CCRW
"CCRW" is a small console based software tool for converting data formats between IBM 360 column binary (single/multipunch), Quantum or CCOUNT, EBCDIC and ASCII with some additional features. It's working on all Windows systems with WIN32 DOS-Box or on Linux. Please note: Quantum and CCOUNT are using the same data format, so CCRW is applicable for both packages. CCRW is part of the free CCOUNT Market Research Software Package, so if you've already installed CCOUNT you don't need to install CCRW again.
