Epidata version 3.1 - build 22feb2005

I really need an older version of EpiData to do some tests. How can I get "Epidata version 3.1 - build 22feb2005" ? I've never used it. But I converted old rec-files to epx-format. Now there is now plausibility check or default values while entering data with EntryClient. I am not sure if it causes in the conversion or if it is "normal" because the old rec-files behave the same way. I need to test it.

In the download section I can see "EpiData EntryClient" and "EpiData Entry". What is the difference?

multi-sheet project

I have 7 old REC-files. I imported them to the new data format with "add structure". I saw that I can append all sheets together to one big sheet. But I don't want it. Is there a way to create one project (epx-file) with 7 separate sub-sheets in it?

editing qes- and chk-files?
by epidata-list＠lists.umanitoba.ca 17 Aug '12

Here is an old EpiData project with seven sheets (rec-files). The doc about the project describe how to add "user-defined variables". Sheet number 7 is prepared for this and the user just have to edit the qes- and maybe the chk-file with an text-editor. It sounds realy old and obsulet. Am I right? Convertet the rec-files to the new epx-format there is no need to edit the file manualy with hand, right? There is the EpiData Manager for this job, right? Can I forget the qes- and chk-files if I have the new epx or are they related to each other?

What is the big difference between 2005 and now?

This may be a stupid question, I used the new version of Epidata to create a database and I want to create an entry (V3) the sum of the previous two entries (V1 + V2): V1 = x V2 = y V3 = sum (V1 + V2) Can someone give me the procedure or point me to a good tutorial? thank you very much = ps files are in format (. epx)
