I am posting the questionnaire below on behalf of Tom Chavez, the Project Manager for MacApp. If you are using MacApp for development, or have seriously evaluated MacApp 2.0 and decided against using it for development, please fill out the questionnaire an *EMAIL* it to Tom at tomc@apple.com Tom does not read this newsgroup, so *do not post* your replies. I am not an Apple Employee, so don't send me any mail either. ======================================================================== To all users of MacApp: (Apple employees please respond, too) I am once again collecting information on who is using MacApp and for what it is being used. I think IUll send this out every three months to stay up with the latest developments. Especially now that 2.0 is out, I hope to hear that you are all using it! Please fill out the following questionnaire and link it back to me. The information provided is considered confidential except where you or your company allow the release of this information. Please let me know if I CAN talk about your product, as thatUs good for both MacApp and your product. I canUt tell you how helpful information like this is in getting more resources (engineering, writing, etc), getting press coverage, showing success stories, convincing new customers to develop on MacApp, etc. And it can even sell your products, too. Please keep me informed of your progress and let me know if we can work together on any parts. Thank you, Tom Chavez MacApp Product Manager p.s. I want to send an extra thank you to those who have kindly sent me copies of their MacApp-based applications, and allowed us to interview you for success stories. Come to the Apple booth at Macworld Boston and see the new OOP Successes Video Tape and demos of the MacApp-based software. And if I donUt have a copy of your software, and you have a copy you can spare, please send me one as soon as you can (even before Macworld?) and IUll load it on the hard disk and show it off as another great example of the use of MacApp. p.p.s. Please post this survey to other e-mail networks where MacApp developers hang out (MADA, CIS, GEnie, etc.). ______________________________________________ MacApp Development Questionnaire Note that all information provided will be considered CONFIDENTIAL unless otherwise noted, released or announced products excluded.

Is your company is dedicated to development of Mac applications with MacApp from now on (once MacApp never back) or is there mixed development? Sometimes Apple focuses success stories on companies that are doing great things on Macintosh computers. Would you be interested in being used for such a success story? What feature of MacApp made you decide to use it? Maybe the rich class library, that itUs from Apple, compatibility, etc. ThatUs all of the questions.
