Greetings, _All_!
Here is the second questionnaire and help to the first questionnaire.

=== Cut ===
Hello, dear Spectrumist!

Now in front of you is a regular questionnaire. However, its goal
is not to satisfy someone's idle curiosity. This creation will, if possible, be as widespread as possible and is intended, in general terms, to help the Spectrum market. Indeed, despite this difficult time for all of us, many
still love and respect their spec.
I’ll say right away that all the data I receive will be carefully
systematized, and not a single questionnaire will be filled out in vain.
The main purpose of the survey is to obtain answers to the questions:
“How long has the Spectrum market been launched?”, “What specific questions are the most important and how to solve them.” Also, the questionnaire will help to study user demand, which will be the first and, probably, the main step in getting Speccy on its feet. Judge for yourself, if
producers of programs know what interests users and what they are willing to pay money for, then the producers will have a natural desire to create programs. In general,
it will be possible to follow the main motto of marketing: produce what sells, and not sell what is produced. The main thing is what people think about the productconsumer, not a producer.
The survey itself consists of two parts. The first is a simple questionnaire intended for ALL users (coders, etc. are also users). The second part is an expert assessment system. Of the many different types, I chose the Delphi method.
The name comes from the ancient Greek city of Delphi, where to solve the most important problems, oracles independently of each other gave a solution to the problem. Afterwards the “arithmetic average” derivation was found and implemented. So, about the survey: EXPERTS
will assess the current situation and offer possible solutions
to the problems. The only trouble is who should be considered an expert... These are, first of all, marketers. Their conclusions will be worth their weight in gold.
The next category is experienced coders who have more than one software product behind them. Their point of view will help to clarify the opinions of manufacturers. And, finally, experienced iron workers. Iron occupies a special niche in the world of ZX and there are also a lot of problems on this side. We kindly ask you to cover only those issues in which
You are an expert. We also ask that only those who are
real experts participate. Otherwise, problems may be incorrectly illuminated, which may lead to undesirable consequences.

In the file "ankXYhlp" you will add help to the version profileX
subversions of Y, as well as help for the expert survey, which, in all
apparently, will be without versions.
"ankXY" - questionnaire
"exopr" - expert survey

Well, now I will give an example of filling out the questionnaire.

1. Your full name, pseudo.
> Gavrilov Roman Vasilievich (not to be confused with the co-author of pcunzip :)
Looker (not to be confused with Looker from MS)

2.Your age.
> nearly 17

3.How long have you been using Spectrum?
> 48th tape - six to seven years. 128th disk drive - 1.5 years.

4.Hardware of your computer.
> 512-Pentagon\cache\5'25\turbo\Campston mouse\covox\stereo covox\
soundrive\2 additional graphics modes

5.What do you do on Spec?
> I’m slowly coding; sometimes I play around; So, I’m going to help
Spectrum :)

6. Do you support piracy?
> I don’t approve, but I realize that for now there’s no way to get away from it
.

7. How do you feel about full-fledged software trading?
> Both hands are in favor, as long as it’s not very expensive for the user.

8. What program(s) do you need
> First of all, this is the new Storm (hey, X-TRADE). Next you need a
professional text PROCESSOR.
From toys, this is WORMS, a demo version of which I recently saw. I would also be happy to play the continuation of Operation
RR. It would be nice to have :) a level editor for the biggest ruckusQUADRAX.

9.Do you want to purchase it commercially? If so,
then how much?
> Since I need these programs, then I am ready to pay my hard-earned money for them. I don’t know about the price, but I think that it
should be within 2-5 (at most 6.7) hryvnia.

10. If it’s not a secret, then why is this your choice?
> with the storm, I think it’s understandable. ZX-WORD suits me as a
text editor, but for working with text + graphics, and even
printing all this, there are no normal systems yet.
I like dizzy-like games, and Operation R.R. is the best of
them. And WORMS and QUADRAX are cute toys, moreover, for two players.
In general, I think that toys should, if possible, be framed.

11. A few words about the questionnaire (suggestions, comments, Fakie).
> Well, I don’t know what else can be added.

12. Free message to the author of the questionnaire.
> Since I am the author, I I will appeal to all the applicants:
if you don’t know me yet, then get to know me through the profile - I will be glad to see every new friend.

13.Date of filling out the profile.
> 01/30/99

Well, that’s all. I can only ask those filling out the questionnaire not to answer in monosyllables (yes, no, maybe, etc.) and to give, if possible, explanations for their answers. And remember that by filling out the questionnaire, you are helping manufacturers, and therefore yourself.
