Does anyone know why there is a file on the sys7 disks called Cerulean data? I know it has system resources in it, but why the name Cerulean Data?

"Cerulean" is a shade of blue! Cute aint it! regards peter ==================================================================== | Peter E.

System 7, in it's infancy, was known by the code name "Blue". Programmers on the System 7 project (such as the frequently-posting Dean Yu) were known as "Blue Meanies". There is a SND that System 7 installs called "Indigo." All-in-all, it's due to the project being code-named "Blue." Me, I want to know why the same file was called "Chocolate Data" in one of the beta releases... <grin> --- Jim Gaynor - AgVAX System Manager - Academic Computing - Ohio State University VMS:<gaynor@agvax2.ag.ohio-state.edu> UNIX:<gaynor@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu> Disclaimer : All opinions expressed here are mine and only mine.
