- The following is a public opinion poll not only of my software, but of
- TradeWars in general. I would appreciate it if you could take a few minutes
- in thought to complete this, print it out, and send it to:
- Brandon Bannerman
- 27908 84th Ave So
- Kent, WA 98032-8625
- Please be completely frank and honest with these questions. I can stroke my
- own ego all I want; I don't need others doing it for me. :) These questions
- help me judge what to develop, and how to develop it. It doesn't matter to
- me if you've registered my software or not--your opinions count.

- TW Events ($5), TW Missions ($10), and Genesis ($10) all have required
- registration fees. If you are familiar with these programs, in your opinion
- are these fees too high, too low, or just right for their capabilities?

- Several of my utilities (TW Hex, KitWorks, and ShipEdit) modify the Trade
- Wars 2002 executable files. Is this a problem in your opinion, and if so,
- does it keep you from using them?
- _____________________________________________________________________________
- _____________________________________________________________________________
-
- I have recently decided to release the source codes to the KitWorks and
- ShipEdit programs, to be distributed along with the programs themselves. They
- are, like all of my programs, written in Microsoft QuickBasic v4.5. If you
- program, or are interested in learning soon, would you find them of use? If
- so, how? And how do you think I should deal with dishonest people who decide
- to distribute altered copies of the source or compiled code?
