- Directory Opus 5 - Survey.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Part One - Should I fill this in?
-
- If you feel you have anything valid to say about Directory Opus, please
- complete this survey. The survey is open to people regardless of whether
- they currently own the program - we are as interested in gaining new
- users as pleasing the current ones. The only requirement is that you are
- _constructive_ with your ideas and critisism. Apart from that, _all_
- responses will be considered and discussed.
-
- Please send all completed replies to
-
- E-Mail: <d5survey@hampschl.demon.co.uk>
-
- DO NOT SEND REPLIES BACK TO THE NEWSGROUP!
-
-
- Part Two - Purpose.
-
- 1. To gather information about what people want to be added and changed in
- the next update of Directory Opus.
- 2. To find out if there are any particular areas where people require help.
- 3. To destroy any misconceptions which people have about the new versions
- of Directory Opus.
-
-
- Part Three - The Organizer.
-
- The survey is being carried out by me, Leo Davidson, with the help of
- various other people involved with DOpus. For what it's worth, I am
- conducting the survey as an independent, but with the suppport and
- authorisation of GPSoftware. My motivation for carrying out this
- survey is the improvement of a program which I use and love. The results
- of the survey will go back to GPSoftware as input for the next version
- of DOpus, but if you want to remain anonymous, I will respect your wish.
-
- If you have something negative to say about DOpus or GPSoftware, go ahead and
- say it. I won't personally be offended, although I may turn around and
- explain why I feel what you've said isn't valid, if I feel that is the case.
- If what you say is valid, perhaps it will result in things changing for the
- better.
-
- We're not asking for your opinions with the expectation that they are all
- good ones!
