Hmm, I have a link to a internett jorgan lexicon somwhere at home. I'll post it when I find it (I'm in the middle of installing a new computer, and the old one with all my stuff on it is currently standing in a corner with all it's parts showing...) IIRC foo (and bar as in "foobar") doesn't mean to much. Just a "replace-this-with-whatever" word that somehow got popular among Unix hackers in the early days of the net. Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |

As promised here is a comprehensive breakdown of the origins and history of "foo": http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/entry/foo.html Go up a few levels for the complete lexicon, a great resource for making sence of all the wierd tems and apreviations floating around :) Jan Erik Mydland HoF admin |
