Some of you may have seen the survey request from IBM,
where they want us to send them documents.  I asked them
what they would actually use the documents for.  After about
a week, someone finally responded with what is below,
telling me in effect that they won't tell me.

I urge people not to cooperate with this survey.

	Status: R

	Karl:

	In response to your questions about our survey I can tell you that we will use
	the documents for our tests.  If you have documents that are sensitive in
	content or form, (e.g. special TeX macros that are proprietary) you should
	not send them because they will be available to other product testing teams
	here at Pennant Systems.

	The data collected will be used for testing purposes also.

	This is all I can tell you about what the data and documents will be used for.

	I can tell you what IBM Pennant Systems is all about.

	Pennant Systems is an IBM Company who's mission is "Be the premier provider of
	print related systems and services".

	A brochure printed 3/92 states:

	"...Pennant Systems offers customers a way to distribute printing in the large
	host, midrange and local area network (LAN) environments."

	Please let me know if you would be interested in participating in the survey.
	If not, I understand and thank you for your interest.

	Sincerely,

	David Eldeen
