The name is as much do to my lack of creativity in naming as anything else... Also, at the time I named it the program was about 1400 on FICS and I didn't feel it was worthy of a proper 'creative' name. I have vauge plans of doing a major re-write next year and may give it a proper name at that point. Several ideas have popped into my head but it is hard to know what has been used before. I may just make up a word... who knows. - Dan
