[comp.windows.ms] Do you use the PROGRAM MANAGER?

aa41@terre (Eric Trepanier) (06/18/91)

Hello Netters!

I'm currently investigating on the possibility of writing a new Program
Manager for Windows.  I've already got a couple of good ideas, but I'd
still like to hear from you first.  By doing a simple survey, I want to
determine which program do people use as a Shell (PROGMAN, USHER, ...)
and why.

Please send your replies to me as I don't often have time to read the
News and I might loose messages if you mail them in the Newsgroup.  I will
send a complete summary of the results to the group, so that everybody
can benefit from the information.

Here are five simple questions that I am asking you to answer to:

1.  Which program do you use a shell (file/program manager)?

2.  If you are not using PROGMAN.EXE, why?

3.  What are the Pro's and Con's of the program you are using?
    (What do you like best, and what do you hate most?)

4.  What are the features you would most like to have in a file/program
    manager?  (Don't hold back now!  Tell me everything you'd want!)

5.  If a program that did everything you asked and more was available
    commercially for a reasonnable price (say ~50$), would you consider
    buying it?  (Please be honest here, I'm looking for real statistics!)


I thank you in advance for taking the time to answer these questions...
