In my understanding and usage "app" is short for "application program" and is distingushed from other programs by what it is used for. There are programs like "utilities" that are for maintaining the computer's running, or system programs that are not apps. -- Steve Hayes from Tshwane, South Africa Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm Blog: http://khanya.wordpress.com E-mail - see web page, or parse: shayes at dunelm full stop org full stop uk
