Re:under both OS's executable names are poor

On: Linux's Difficulty with Names

geez, i missed:
wifeman.dll (the library interface to your wife ?)
cb32.exe or wb32.exe ( upgraded versions of the wc..)
or one of these may start outlook express:
msimn.exe oemig50.exe setup50.exe wab.exe wabmig.exe

under both OS's executable names are poor

On: Linux's Difficulty with Names

I guess we know many culprits under linux, but the actual names in xp are just as bad.
Let's see:
win (ie not lose), what would this do ?
acrord32.exe (version 3.2 of ?)
twunk16.exe (superseded by twunk32.exe ? )
hh.exe ?
devenum.exe (calculator ?)
cacls.exe (calulators ?)
carpserv.exe (serves up the dreaded fish carp ?)
cisvc.exe ? clbcatex.exe ? comp.exe (?starts the computer?)
dplaysvr.exe (digital player server)
drwatson (worse drwtsn32.exe)
fastopen.exe (much faster than the normal open command ?)
fltmc.exe (flight mc a music dj program ?)
label.exe (make printed cd labels ?)
mplay32.exe (multipoint layer v3.2 ?)
msswchx.exe (?)
Better stop now, fun is oozing out. I guess this goes to show how ms do not really trust long file names, when they won't even use it for their own applications....
