Dear colleagues
This message will be in English on behalf of all the Isis community
(no enviaré el mensaje en español)

I think that Marshall's survey is very important to all of us
We did a simple search right now of libraries registered in Library 
Technology Guides with the folowing result

    *- ABCD         8*
    *- Aguapey    437  is a development based on IsisDlls from
    Biblioteca Nacional del Maestro (Argentina)*
    *- CDS/ISIS+  142  includes ISIS, MicroIsis and name variations*
    *- Catalis      7*
    *- MarcoPolo    1    this is amazing, there are a lot of users, the
    soft is good but nobody registered*
    *- Weblis       6*
    _*- Winisis     42*_
    *- Total                      501*

Therefore I'd recommed to all members of this list to do this very 
simple work, because in this very list we are about 1400 members
subscribe to the site http://www.librarytechnology.org/
and fill-out the survey form

To Marshall I'd also recomend to have some feature in order to get a 
grand total of all the different applications mounted in the same ISIS 
family
because if you consider the grand total (over 500) then we should had be 
included in the table of survey Results showing the top 20 most used 
software

Last but not least we are right not having some conversations with 
Marshall about the enhancement of the survey form so to include not only 
libraries but documentation Centers and all kind of NGOs libraries with 
non-book materials

Regards
Ernesto Spinak
