sorry I couldn't help it :-) You probably wanted to know what is the
meaning of the word "sablotron". The word is an invention of Tom Kaiser,
the principal author of Sablotron, and it is based on the Czech word
"sablona", which means template. You probably will get the
pronunciantion wrong when you try. Maybe one day we will get Tom to
record the pronunciation in MP3 and distribute ...
