<<<Purpose & Explanation of File "GUNSMOKE.QAE">>>
There follows a tabulation of shareware vendors from a Quality Assurance
Engineer's point of view. This was compiled on Mar 16, 1992 (920316 in
rational mode) from responses to the shareware disk SURVEY LAND YOURSELF.
Please address all comments, changes, criticisms, corrections, and
collaborations to:

Februrary and March.
