The standard for a long time was obviously to form an initialism from a string of 2-4 vague words. Old story is that if IBM had invented sushi, it would be called "CDF" (cold dead fish). The fact that not all sushi has fish of any temperature or vitality can be considered part of the joke. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
