It's also the name of my PRO/380 on our internal DECnet. We spent a lot of time playing the sequence of the film that BRIEFLY shows the ship name. Finally, someone in our facility picked up a copy of the ALIENS novelization. It's quite possible that SULACO was pulled from the pages of something A else by the writers of "ALIENS", though... /ljj
