>Louis, some old pre-IETFquestions. What was "cata" standing for?

It's mispelled. The word is "catenet". Obvious origin: latin catena -> chain; french: caténaire; english: catena, catenation.

Thanks for the name...we partly named a programming language after it....C@T

http://www.ddj.com/articles/1993/9310/
http://www.computer.org/software/so1991/s3073abs.htm

C@T is also aka CALICO as in a C@T of Many Colors...
...and also C+@ because of the addition of the @ operator from Smalltalk to C...

Someday I may tell people the whole story behind it...
...but, 8 years of work resulted in Sun "studying it" and announcing Java...
...and now we have Microsoft with C#...
...instead of Go-Mono....maybe it should be Go Figure...
