That's one thing I found good with Epi-Info, it has a help page about
the use of computers especially in precarious areas. Maybe you have a
look at it.

One of the several reasons I have not yet started to install about
eight donated Computers in "our" Clinical Lab is, because they have
not setteled a concise organization, not even on paper.  And we all
know (Chorus): "Trash in, Trash out".
