In the latest "Transfer", a magazine about high-speed network protocols
such as XTP (it's put out by Protocol Engines Inc, the XTP folks),
there's a short bit about a gateway to the "Hell ChromaCom", which is
some kind of color printing/typesetting/whatever system made by what I
suspect is a German company.

The author is, I suspect, also German, which means he didn't know he
shouldn't write sentences such as these, which appeared in his article:

        ...The Chromalink SCSI interface from Hell allows users to benefit
        from the high productivity and full range of functions offered
        by the automatic scanning and recording units in the DC 3000
        series. ...

and

        The ChromaLink from Hell allows users to combine different
        systems in line with their individual requirements. ...
