I confirm your experience. And the form is in English only, as it's 
conceived for the evaluation of (US university) courses, if I understand 
well. So, less useful for the  multi-lingual Internet world.  However 
what is nice : you can export the data in tab-delimited format.

Even if this is an Internet-related list I would also like to get some 
info about conventional paper and pencil questionnaire layout programmes 
(if this exists)
