Subject: Acronym collision?



I am writing a program that I will want to make available to the
chemistry community.  Never mind what it does, for now -- that will 
all be revealed in due time.  The question is what to name it.  A few 
of the names that seem appropriate reduce to the following acronyms:

	SACS
	EACS

Again, never mind what these stand for -- that would be too much
of a hint.

The question is:  are you aware of existing software likely to
be in use by chemists which is known by either of these acronyms?

Maybe we need an acronym registry;  are you listening, Jan?  :-)

	-P.
