Thanks Bernhard, mail would be fine and I could then put the files up 
for others to download but I am not sure if it is worth bothering since 
presumably the transcripts will have been completed by tomorrow. 
However, if there are any left to do I would be happy to oblige 
provided someone says which one(s) still need doing. In the mean time I 
will draft a complaint to the EbS - the inaccessibility of the data on 
their website is unacceptable.
