But the name of the program is "grabber" (or "Grabber", if you like)
and "Allegro Datafile Editor" is a description. Does Netscape
Navigator have "Netscape Corp. Web Browser" in it's titlebar? Does
Quake have "id Software First Person Shooter"?
Ok, I'm sure you could pull out counter-examples, e.g. "MS-DOS Command
