http://www.intuitor.com/moviephysics/mpmain.html#scaling I like the name 'NymFS' except for the other words that stem from the 'nymph' root. Probably best to avoid dirty jokes. "Can I use NymFS with an interface in promiscuous mode? Bwahaha" Why do file systems always end in 'FS'? It's one of the very few classes of software that almost universally has the same suffix. The other would have to be 'sh' for any kind of shell or shell remoter. Even ext2/ext3 are often named "extNfs", especially in BSD implementations. I guess you could give a nod to decades of BSD culture by including UFS in the name somehow, like NUFS (say "NewFS") for "Networked Unix File System". Not quite NFS or UFS, but still feels Unixy. --- Dmitri Nikulin Centre for Synchrotron Science Monash University Victoria 3800, Australia
