This is ***NOT*** the name (or even a close approximation) of the new product that is being worked on; it is merely the result of an overactive sense of humor on my part (actually, I borrowed that spelling from a message I got from Phil on Exec-PC). So, it was just a joke, okay? Really, we **are** trying to devote our time to preparing a quality set of programs, not trying to come up with cute names. If you must know, a tentative name has been picked (at least it is used by the project members to refer to the future product), but I'd rather not post that until trademark searches have been completed. -- - Mike Shawaluk (...!uunet!uwmcsd1!lakesys!mikes)
