A couple of weeks ago, I posted on comp.windows.x: > I'm interested in how widely UIMS's are being used and to what extent. > If you are using an UIMS to develop your application, I would greatly > appreciate the following information: > > 1. (OPTIONAL) The name or a brief description of your project. > > 2. UIMS name. For the purpose of this survey, please include UIL, > WINTERP, WCL, etc. as UIMS's. > > 3.

And so on. > > I'm not asking or expecting any comments about a particular product. > If others are interested, I'll summarize the replies and post them. > Thanks in advance for your time. And the total number of responses I got was 3 plus 1 request for a summary. Does this mean: 1. People who use UIMSs usually don't read comp.windows.x. 2. Not many people are doing "serious" development with UIMSs. (Sorry if I offend anyone, I don't know how else to phrase this.) 3. People who develop using UIMSs don't want to disclose their projects. 4. People don't care. 5. People are passively resisting to help anyone related to AT&T, because of the recent backing-store patent issue. (BTW, I don't work for AT&T. AT&T Bell Labs != Bellcore) Did I leave out other reasons? Any comments? Ik Su Yoo RRC 1H-229, (908) 699-5764 ik@ctt.bellcore.com
