I hate to think Corbett has been getting actual flames over this issue.
However, his program should have a unique name to make it easier for people
to find it.  Some archive sites have hundreds of programs available and
have two or different releases of some programs.  It is irritating to
download a program only discover that it is something completely
different that happens to have the same name.

For example, I wanted to get the latest version of Walter Tichy's RCS
(Revision Control System).  I had heard that it was available on UUNET,
so I connected to UUNET, grabbed the ls-lR.Z file, looked up RCS, and
downloaded the files... only to discover that what I had was, in fact,
the "Rochester Connectionist Simulator".  I was not amused.
