Hey, what does "GNU" stand for?  There is an awful lot of talk about
it without any mention of what it is.  I guess I could call or write
to that agency you mentioned in your posting, but I don't want to
spend the money on the call and the email address didn't look legal
for me.

I just think it would be nice if whenever someone mentions an
acronym (I take it that's what GNU is), and it hasn't been explained
in over a month or so, that it be explained again.  Not just acronyms,
but any relatively new words (zorro is another example).  I don't mean
a detailed explanation.  A single sentence or something in parenthesis
would do quite nicely.  (zorro is Amiga's expansion specification)

Thanks,  Marnix ... (<- *not* related to Unix !)
