I don't think so.  I think it is a case of IBM's own marketing division
being sloppy.  Hsu explained what the "web-based DB Jr" program was all
about.  The marketing guys aren't chess players, and most especially are
not computer chess programmers.  They don't really know what the thing is,
other than it is incredibly popular and well-known.
