- Hello,
-
- here comes my suggestion on the naming
- problem with "CMU-OpenVMS-IP":
-
- Why not using a very short name for
- an excellent and cheap product ?
- That's what the commercialists are
- doing all the time. Call it:
-
- ============ T I P ==============
-
- That stands for "The Internet Package".
- ^^^
- Naturally, it should become a more
- open product. All things will be open
- in the near future, and it's not
- necessary to mention this issue.
- The 'The' will do it, on 'alpha', 'beta', ...
- or other (nicer) platforms. I hope so.
-
- Have all a good time,
- Karl-Heinz.
