Well, I think I've gotten all of the suggestions I'm going to get for the
list reader software. You can read more about the software, and download
the freeware version, at http://www.crl.com/~techwrtr/MysteryReader.
Cast your votes for one of these names:
Regurgitator - because it reconstitutes what's already been digested
(Richard Mateosian)
The Whirler
Whiler's DigestReader
ListServer DigestReader (Michelle Corbin)
Palimpsest - "Writing material used one or more times after earlier writing
has been
erased..." (Webster) American Heritage adds "...Remnants of this kind are a
major source for
the recovery of lost literary works of classical antiquity." (Sonia Bayne)
WYNIWYG - What you need is what you get (Alan Sismey)
Digester's Reader - the flip side of the Reader's Digest (Bill McClain)
I'll post the winning name in a couple of weeks. At the same time, I
anticipate having an updated version with some new capabilities available
for download.
