Hi Nick :)
    Well, by putting a upper case letter in the middle it does follow the
unofficial computerese naming convention demonstrated by the following?

WordPerfect
FoxPro
dBase (any flavor)
MPE/iX  (again any flavor)
    (ok... this one even has a / in it.... )
DataNow! (with the ! but not a Stan Product hehe)
FileMaker
PowerHouse (ok... a company name but used to refer to products)
NewWave
etc ...

Art "just being his usual self :) hehehe" Bahrs
