Well, "real" SysProgs still think of it as SyncSort. "MFX"!!! I
remember being totally turned off by the name change. Makes me think
of a cross between MX missiles and Special Effects, not sorting. No
doubt the stupidity of some marketing neophyte who thought it would be
"cute" to have a product name that didn't tell what the product did or
what platform it was designed for!
