Just idle curiosity, does anyone recall why that second d is there?

Um. "directory"? I'm pretty sure.

That is what I was thinking but...

I am trying to think of another thing that ends in "d" like that.

My copy of "NeXTSTEP Programming" does not list anything either. It certainly is not "daemon" as is true around most Unix systems.

I'm going to stick with "directory". I can imagine that someone, at some time, thought that this was clever enough to brag about.


how do you explain .wo/.wod then? Maybe that part is backwards? :-P

Probably best to just not think about this.


Then again, I have slides and pitch summaries for the show in '94 where they gave out the beta copies of EOF 1.0. They have "TBD" all over them. As in, "Enterprise Objects for PDO Release 1.0 - Pricing TBD". Maybe that's it....

LOL. That same theme appeared later in the Java version of the framework documentation. How far we've come...
