RE: Survey - Please Participate
Hi Al,
The results submitted used many different methods and often had
long answers to each question ... not just an X or a few words.
Probably around between 10%-30% of responses don't use the standard
X "type" answer.
Also some questions don't fit easily like "Specify Other", or
"list your preferred..." etc.
I had thought about writing a program that could ask each survey
question and create a file with the answers. This file could then be
emailed to me. Then a program could be written to read all files and
tally the results.
Win32Lib is the best choice of GUI tools to use, but would then limit
respondents (is that a word?) to have Windows to use it.
It would have also taken awhile to develop such a program.
If there was a chance that it would have been useful elsewhere I might
have considered it but I think Web Surveys are the way to go. No
software to download, easily maintainable and instant results.
