One amusing thing about all this is that when James Gosling wrote
the original program, he called it `sc'.  The version Mark Weiser
distributed was called `vc' only because we already had an `sc':
the SIMPL compiler.

So has anyone trademarked `sc'?  If so, we could always call it
`a-visicalcTM-like-spreadsheet-calculator'. :-)
