  What constitutes an "application"?  Is, for instance, a web crawler
that reports dead links, an application?  How about a program that
reports on the Ada.Calendar.Clock timing characteristics of a particular
compiler/OS?  I would call a teleprompter program an application, but
I'm not so sure about a program that plays speech through a soundcard-less
DOS PC speaker.  And what about a one-shot program that grabs selected
election returns off the internet and displays them on a community
cable TV system?
