Foundation was the name of some Xilinx software. But Podium is really good. Pedestal sounds cooler, but I see your point. How about some of these names to ponder: Metaphor (or any kind of meta- or -phor) Adaptor or Adaptyr (Adapter is the normal spelling) Analogy Platform Dais, Pulpit, Rostrum Surface, Plane, Interface, Interstice Outerface, Extraface, Intraface Epigram Epithet _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
