Sorry, but I don't remember such terminology in Computer Science - ugly,
nice, beautiful...

More specific, please? Efficiency, performance, instruction set (oh, it's CICS, 
but you probably know how WIDE this term is now, don't you), features? Is it
something like iAPX-432 (I mean - ideas)?

Thanks.

Uri.

P.S. Don't waste time flaming me - I'd rather like a technical answer.
