    I've got a variable named Analyser... Does that count? ;)

    An analytical app I inherited at my old job had a couple thousand lines of business logic in a monstrous function called AnalCalculate... But then, it was a VB6 app, originally written in VB4, so we can make all kinds of comments...

          Yes folks, it's that time again. I'm looking for a nice suffix for an application that executes tasks in order to perform an upgrade, and ultimately, all similar applications (that execute tasks). -Manager has seen its day, -Wizard isn't accurate, and -Worker just doesn't sound right. Yes, this is ultimately a programming question, but I am appealing to Lounge denizens' command of the English language, and not of programming languages, so I thought I could squeeze it past the censors. :)

            Not in the least, on both counts! My full spec describes the tasks, the work flow, and the UI, and I must code it and name it.

              Well, i meant the specs you're givin' us for the name. And I was just jokin' round. I'd never call somebody a "specs guy" literally. That's just too severe.

                              Oh yes. This was a man who (after one of his girlfriends gave him a love bite one afternoon) sandpapered his own neck on the train home to hide it from his wife... He had four, BTW - I could never keep the names straight.

                                I'm impressed that he appears to've always done so. Edit: assumption made based on the fact that he appears to be alive, and that you've not mentioned his now singing soprano.
