* I understand Fortran is used quite widely in the core of many 
electric power systems control, analysis and modelling tools. These 
tools are typically large and sophisticated - therefore maybe add 'Power 
Systems' to your list of application domains.

* Maybe questions about user interfaces for software - particularly 
graphics? Do developers use Fortran implementations / bindings of GUI 
presentation graphics tools; or do they integrate their Fortran code 
with GUIs developed in some other language?

Cheers,
David.

We already have some questions to include in the poll and we would like to know if you would suggest to change some of them and/or add some others.
