I think what all this comes down to is whether an *archive* like sumex
should be changing the names of software in order "to move the product"
or whether an archive should remain an archive where people can go
to find the software they want.  Is sumex in the software marketing
business?  No, I think not.  It is up to the software author to change
the name of his "product" if he wants more people to use it, not the
archivers or the person who posted it.

If you take the time to read the abstracts, you'll learn what all the
cryptically (sp?)  named software really does.  I found Neko DA by this
exact same method.

Just one guy's opinion,
