I think I'll rename it to pakke (Norweigan for 'packet'). This doesn't seem to
be used for any programs right now. I'd still welcome suggestions though.

I've removed the zippo home page from my web site. I've closed down the
zippo-workers mailing list. Once I rename it, I'll create a new home page and
mailing list for the renamed program.

Bye, Rich =]
