Couple of questions here: 1) Is Delphi lumped in with Pascal or merely omitted? 2) You got Clipper but no Foxbase/Foxpro - do we assume it is not so significant or that it was omitted? 3) Is there any time frame of reference for the accumulations, or is it just anything A.D.? Are we measuring last year's "popularity" here? This may be statistically more incorrect than any other error, omission, or deception you may have published here. It may be more work, but a count at the end of each month for that month, which interested parties could then accumulate themselves would be much morte meaningful. You could possibly do a current month then an overall total and post it yourself, if you have access to this sort of info - hardly any more work, since you probably do the arithmetic already anyway? (Unless of course you are grinding axes here.) Anyhow - thanks very much for doing it in the first place - it is certainly a very interesting and worthwhile post.
