Hello,

It is possible for us to extract the dictionary for you. If you send your .pen file to greg@csprousers.org, I'll send back your dictionary.

I hope that RERII has the authorization to use this pen file...or this pen was effectively built by RERII's team or by RERII. In fact with the use of internet and tablet, there's a real threat for unauthorized dissemination of data, mainly in some countries as mine, where that can cause severe security problem...for many families. With geographic coordinates, name, adress, financial assets recorded etc. if gangsters can decode survey data (socioeconomic data by example)...it may be very dangerous... It's because we must have some way to encrypt data file for avoid such problems...and not extract dcf if an user can't prove that it has right to use the pen file...

I do have permission, and yes the files are mine. Thanks Greg I'll send them to you this afternoon. The problem was I created the screen, crashed my computer and forgot the proper way to setup the GPS and picture taking button. We use ODK for most work but the cleaning at the end is terrible. I would prefer CSPro, but I forgot how to set things up.For the future I think I'll include my name in all programs somewhere so if I ever forget no one will doubt it was designed by me.
