Posting of IDC Survey Results Diana Demers 12 Jan 1996 17:08 EST

I have received several requests for this survey, so I thought I would post
it for everyone.  I hope it isn't too hard to follow; formatting is a
problem.  This is a compilation of information others sent to me, much of
it is from earlier surveys done by Debra Easterly and Susan Kuyper.  Thanks
to them and to everyone who responded.
