Lest the discussion degenerate even further, I currently know
of four different things (and doubtless there are more, it's
not exactly a unique name :-) named PowerHouse:
	1.  The BSR X-10 remote control stuff.  As stated above, there
	is a version for the Mac.

	2.  The 4GL mentioned above, which I shall have to take the
	original author's word does not run on macs.

	3.  The latest and greatest replacement finder by the individual
	who wrote PowerStation.  This one is a commercial product which
	>only< runs on the mac.

	4.  A candy bar made by, I believe, Hershey.  Might run on a mac
	if you don't have a fan...
