Need ideas for a launcher name

[EarthQuake]

I'm in the process of writing a front end for Chocolate Doom, Doom95, and possibly the original executables. I don't know what to name it though.

So far I have DEFEAT, which stands for "Doom Engine Front End Application Tool", but that seems a bit redundant. Can anyone think of some better choice of words, or a better acronym?

Thanks.

Who needs a launcher? Why not code an equivalent to Doom's Setup for Chocolate Doom users so they can manage their CFGs? Setup is also usable as a launcher anyway.

It's a bit more than just a launcher... It's meant to simplify the creating and playing of demos and managing configuration files (specifically key bindings), saved games, wad directories, and command-line parameters. Also simplifies multiplayer games a bit. I might go as far as implementing a winsock-based chat, if I can get it to work properly.

So basically, it is an equivalent to the Doom's setup program.

What's it stand for?

Flac is used allot with ripping and upping or downing quality. I just through it out. Kinda sounds cool "Launch it with Flacker" "Doom Flacker now loading"

It also has something to do with batch files.

you win the award for being relevantly relevant to the thread.

Don't make it an acronym.

[Bloodshedder]

And if you DO make it an acronym, make it recursive, like "DIAL: DIAL Isn't A Launcher".

Temblor

NADL: not another doom launcher

Spaghetti

Named after spaghetti code.

Call it "The Doom Launcher"

Thanks for the ideas.

From the responses so far, I'm probably going to go with something original that's not an acronym, mainly to keep from the clichés. Also I'm gonna stop referring to it as a launcher, seeing as it tends to provoke mildly negative responses.

Call it earthdoom instead of earthquake?

No, this makes GoLoD.

Penis Doom.

[Ubik]

DEALer: "Doom Engine Application Launcher."

It doesn't HAVE to be an acronym, you know.

/edit: In that case, just call it Gehenna for a roundabout reference to Hell.

[Craigs]

Yeah it does. That's what makes them so cool!

You could do BFL
Big Fucking Launcher.
