    Subject: Random note, Tunes early history

    ===8<==============Original message text===============

    Fare may remember this, but I noticed in the early mail archives

    which I scour from time to time that one of the proposed names for

    TUNES was Joy instead, and since the newly developing language Joy

    fits a *lot* of TUNES' requirements for HLL- (though not enough from

    my perspective), that there's a bit of irony here. :)

    See http://lists.tunes.org/archives/tunes/1994-December/000287.html

    and several other posts from that month in the same thread(s). By the

    next month, the name had solidified, and I think that Fare was a big

    contributor to that.

    Just interesting.
