I know jeff like Vsh, and I'm okay with it, but If i were to proffer a name, I think: DataFlower would be kind of cute. Abstracted out (the way it is know) our application is really a data connectivity brokering application, taking data from one resource and passing it through others in a network-distributed environment. The data 'flows' from one 'resource' to another under the control of a data flow gui, and really, DataFlower encapsulates that idea well, and is precocious enough to attract some noteriety imo. it may sound 'pansy', but geez, just look at all the daisys in the gnome distribution! regards, g. -- Gary Van Domselaar gary at bioinformatics.org http://www.bioinformatics.org/~gary ---------------------------------------------------- bioinformatics.org: The Open Lab http://www.bioinformatics.org/
