how do I know that this one is xy-plorer and not xyp-lorer or x-yplorer?
The three words are equally meaningless to Joe I.T. Average.

Good point, Curt. I'm pretty sure that it's meant to be X-Y-Plorer.

DonL, I can respect that as your perrogative, but if I may be so bold as to suggest...
"Fle-XY-files" (pronounced flex-ee-files).
or like Shades alluded to...
"FleXYfiles"
Either one keeps your decided name change and still highlights the "XY" heritage all of us have come to know so affectionately.

Why should XYplorer customers care what name the new product has?:
XYplorer will not stop to exist (and being developed). Other than the name, both products will be 100% identical, -DonL (October 31, 2010, 04:03 AM)

Because it's there! Just plain orneriness (or cussedness)... at least in my case!

Curt,
You might be correct as far as a "customer" is concerned, but I am thinking of it as a business owner myself. Imagine what Microsoft would lose if they changed their name to "Software Giant?" Yet, on the "customer" side, it always provokes some insecurity whenever a long-standing and successful product gets a face-lift. Maybe it shouldn't, but that is just human nature.
Frankly, I think DonL is making a mistake if he does not maintain some "XY" name recognition, especially since he has enjoyed success, but as the Big Kahuna it is his prerogative to do whatever he wishes.
