RAF report writing software-anybody?

Hi,
I am currently on exchange at the moment, and have failed miserably trying to get my in country HQ to send me OJAR software. I think the postman has been light fingered!
Does anybody have the OJAR report writing software that they could pm me, saves me having to drive 4 hours to my nearest headquarters.
Thanks

I think your email has gone wrong as it is now rejecting the stuff I have sent.

I am working on another way of getting it to you, but it may need to be snail mail I am afraid as I think OJAR v4 is about 17 MB in size.

Unfortunately, the OJAR package is a number of files in separate directories and sub-directories adding up to around 17MB. I have had a look at the YouSendIt web site and it doesn't seem to support this.

I have packaged up a CD to send to abbotyobs, but it won't be posted until Monday and as he is not in the UK, it's likely to be Weds before he receives it.

Any other suggestions welcome.

Regards

In the end I did managed to receive the file via yousendit, so thanks very much and have a good weekend.
Cheers!

Err that doesn't make sense as I have only just sent it (as a RAR file for anyone who's interested). Is the clock different on your PC?

Regards

It was me wot did it. I PM'd and used the YouSendIt method. I had the same snags as yourself sending the 17Mb by conventional means, but the YouSendIt website did the job.
Apologies for 'stamping' on your efforts.

Thanks for sorting the mystery!

No snags - the important thing is that he got the info, and it was a waste of time because I learned about 'yousendit', and what to do next time.

Regards

Thank you for that link. That's the best iteration of the bull**** generator I've ever seen, and the first I saw comprised an A4 sheet and a pair of dice.

I saw a reference recently, possibly in the Torygraph, to a new book listing all of those fabled assessment statements such as 'I would not breed from this officer'. I'll try and find it for you but it sounds like just the thing you need. As it happens, Mrs Zoom is a teacher and she has just found a teacher-optimised website to help her in her report-writing. It's not witty or anything - well, her 4-year-olds wouldn't get the joke anyway.

Zoom, if you have a link, I think Mrs 6Z3 might be grateful of Mrs Zoom's website. Perhaps PM if we're drifting from the thread.
Thanks
