  11. Just an idle question: do any of the more erudite members of this list know
  12. what the REAL word is, for which the very useful coinage "deprovement" is a
  13. substitute?  Since the world is so full of them (PC Tools users can verify
  14. this!), it seems there ought to be a less makeshift denomination available.
