README: 
"Glyphic Script is a modern, object oriented, language.  Glyphic Script has objects, message passing, inheritance and a unified object model.  While all these concepts may sound complicated, they actually combine to produce a simple, easy to use and understand system.  It is easier than languages like C or Basic because it is very consistent and has only a few concepts to learn."

>why  did you choose (nice choice !) the greek word GLYPHIC to name your Script language?

We didn't know it was a Greek word, only of Greek origin.  Languages are written with glyphs, - so since a scripting system is the actual medium in which you write a language for a computer, Glyphic seemed appropriate.  In the same vein, Hieroglyphics are another way of writing language, and Glyphic is a simplication of that word.

What does Glyphic mean in greek?

"Aretha is a codename. This is beta release 1 of Aretha.
This is the new version of Frontier, designed specifically for Internet script writing and running. The Frontier application is the same one that we used to distribute commercially. I changed the version number to 4.0, but there were no other changes to the Frontier app or the kernel. Of course, there are substantial changes to Frontier.root, the object database that your lookin at now."
