I've been experimenting with Fer's new ZW2000 program. I wondered about
the program name derivation so I asked a friend in The Netherlands to
help translate and interpret "Zonwvlak." I thought others might be
interested is his reply:

Zonwvlak means zonnewijzer-vlak.
And that is short for "Een platte zonnewijzer".
Zon is the dutch word for sun.
Wijzer is the dutch word for dial.
Put together, becomes "zonnewijzer."
Vlak means "in a flat form."
Zonwvlak is short for that and in 8 letters. For the good old DOS times.
