That's not the point.  I'm sure you know which program you wrote :-) I'm
fairly sure I can remember how to use `mv', but I'm not at all sure that I'll
be able to see which program is which on an archive server.  Those machines
usually rely on you knowing the program from the name, and that doesn't work
too well in this case.
