A simple request:

If you are making objects, then PLEASE do not use NeXT prefixes!

People use prefixes to distinguish their objects and kits,
and the prefix should have something to do with that.

Since NXFax does not come from NeXT, NXFax is pretty confusing,
SINCE EVERY OTHER new NeXT object has an NX prefix.

As well, DBConnect is NOT part of the DBKit, so prefixing with
DB is confusing as well.

Please, keep your prefixes UNIQUE.
