Brock,
Check out,

This Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software site will
get you connected with several options.
There's an article at:
http://www.soc.surrey.ac.uk/caqdas/getting.htm
which does a nice job of introducing a framework for thinking about
these kinds of software packages and their functionalities:
1. Text retrievers/Textbase Managers
2. Code-and-retrieve Packages
3. Theory Building Software
I've not used any of these myself yet. I'm just looking at them in
the past few days to see if we want to use anything like this in our
project. (Our project's relatively small... about 30-40
interviews...)
Please let us all know if you use a package and what kind of results
you get!
Thanks!
