"global-utilities" sounds fine to me, although the name doesn't actually say anything. Let's avoid abbr.s unless they are very widely known. >> "name" >> should be descriptive (but terse). >> > Agree! > But we should reach a agreement! Nah, you guys just need to come up with a good name :-) I would just call it "control" perhaps ;-) It doesn't matter much, but "name" should be human- readable, human-understandable, and short. A made-up acronym doesn't work (although I like "guts", sure -- put it in your "compatible" property ;-) ) Segher
