	I have been lurking here, reading the debate over the appropriation
	of the word "Directory", apparently by OSI, and trying not to laugh
	my fool head off.

	Think about this:  a certain company is now succesfully gaining
	customers (DEC customers!) by advertising their product as an
	_alternative_to_OSI_.  People are paying cash on the barrelhead
	to _avoid_ OSI networking, even in situations where they would
	be getting it essentially for _free_.  Deny it if you will, it is
	the truth whether anyone admits it or not!

	Perhaps the attitudes shown here are the reason.

	Incidentally, I find that I have to use the full name "Microsoft
	Word" rather than "Word" to be clearly understood by my users,
	who are not computerphiles but simply tool-users.
