Hi, everybody!
I address that programmers, who use Digital Mars C/C++ compiler in =
conjunction with DOSX extender.

It is interesting for me to carry out some kind of survey to determine =
what aspects of programming/working is most interesting for you (and me, =
of course), the users of DMC++/DOSX.

If your feel you can share some information with me, please, send your =
answers for this small survey to my email:
mailto:nictiger pt.comcor.ru

PLEASE, DON'T POST YOUR ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD INSTEAD,
I will post here the results of survey.

I think that the week (from 28.02.2000 until 7.03.2002) is sufficient =
for gathering data, so I will process them on the 8 of March and that =
day I'll post the results.

And here are, at last, the questions of survey:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 1) What purposes do you use DMC++/DOSX ?
    a) Educational
    b) Scientifical / Numerical computations
    c) Business / Scientifical
    d) Business / Commercial

    You may select several variants for this question

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 2) What features does your typical software uses?
    a) A lot of integer-blended computations
    b) A lot of floating-point computations
    c) Graphics presentations (scientific visualization, for example)
    d) Simple user interface
    e) Advanced user interface
    f) Advanced graphical user interface

    You may select several variants for this question

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 3) What memory requirements does your typical software have?
    a) Moderate requirements (about 1-2 Mb, though, real mode is not =
enough for this)
    b) Large requirements (4-32 Mb, DOSX is essential)
    c) Very large requirements (64-256 Mb, as modern computers almost =
always has it)
    d) Extra large reqirements (512+ Mb, very memory intensive =
computations that requires virtual memory support)

    You may select several variants for this question

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 4) What CPU type do you have for designing and testing software?
    a) i386
    b) i486 or AMD K-5
    c) Intel Pentium or AMD K-6, AMD-K6-II
    d) Intel PentiumPro / Pentium II / Celeron
    e) Intel Pentium III / Coppermine
    f) Intel Pentium 4
    g) Other (write your processor type)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 5) What CPU type does your software targeted to?
    a) i386+
    b) i486+
    c) Pentium+
    d) PentiumPro+
    e) Pentium 4+


-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 6) What is your knowledge of programming?
    a) C and C++
    b) Inline ASM for DMC
    c) ASM i8086
    d) ASM i386+
    e) ASM for newest CPUs (MMX, SIMD, SSE)
    f) Large Complex Systems development experience

    You may select several variants for this question

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 7) What is your knowledge of hardware?
    a) i8086 architecture
    b) Intel Architecture (IA-32)
    c) General Intel Controllers (Kbd, Timer, etc.)
    d) PCI programming
    e) DOSX basis
    f) Buses (ISA, PCI) basis and programming

    You may select several variants for this question

-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------
 8) Imagine, you can add new features to your software written for DOSX. =
What features do you think your programs will benefit from?
    a) Support in DMC inline ASM for newst CPUs and opcodes
    b) Multi-window graphics interface with scalable and flexible way to =
create window objects (unlike MFC, for example)
    c) Multi-threading support
    d) Embedded debugging support
    e) Dynamic linking and execution support (analogue to DLL)
    f) Cross platform source code compatibility (DOSX / Win32 / Linux, =
for example)

That's all. I'm looking forward for your mails. Thanks beforehands.
