    other

    Windows debuggers Linux debuggers
      C     C++   Pascal
    rhide
    gdb
    Free Pascal IDE
      C     C++   Pascal
    rhide
    gdb
    ddd
    Do you think it is useful to
    allow contestants to bring in:
      Yes     No  
    dictionaries
    keyboards
    mice
    Did you bring in:
      Yes     No  
    dictionaries
    keyboards
    mice
    One idea for the future is to run only linux in the competition, and provide a
    bootable CD-ROM with documentation for contestants to use for training.     		  Yes     No  
        Would you be satisfied using Linux if rhide and the Free Pascal IDE are provided?
        Would you be satisfied using Linux with standard Linux editors (and no IDEs)?

    Another idea for the future is to allow submissions in Java.    		   Yes     No  
        Would you use Java if it were provided?
        Would you need a Java IDE?
        Even if you did not use Java, would you support making it available to others?
        Would it be acceptable to have different time limits for JAVA?
     Would it be acceptable to have different time limits for each programming language
         
         

    Was it useful to have available on the competition server web page:        		   Yes     No  
        IOI documents
        Manuals on tools (e.g. rhide)
        Programming language references

    What other tools would you like to have available?


    Giving information about limits on 50% of test cases:   Yes     No  
    Did it help you?
    Is it a good idea in general?
