I see that Zope 2 includes a module called zdeamon.py. Is this a misspelling or just a weird inside joke? This word is usually spelled "daemon" or "demon", afaik. Should I post to the Collector? ;-) -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer, `I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'" --Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_

I thought that was daimoon? :) My never extensive knowledge of ancient greek has weakened a lot though. As far I know daemon is the regular spelling for daemons. Regards, Martijn

It is actually daimwn (with an omega. At least in modern Greek) but if I keep going on I will probably daimwnize everyone on this list. Pavlos

I thought the omega was a constraction of two 'oo's originally, which would translate to 'oo' at least in Dutch. But-my-knowledge-of-greek-is-virtually-absent-ly yours, Martijn

i think that the transcription of old greek to latin letters is more or less standardized and both omicron and omega are transcribed to a single `o' when writing (at least in german) but omicron is pronounced with a short `o' and `omega' with a long `oooo'. anyway... :-) thilo
