>We have plenty of cooked books here to Tom. For instance a local manufacturer (my brother in law worked there for years) has just announced a huge shortfall in the company pension fund and benefits to employees will be reduced by up to 80%.

Bad naming. They should be called "executables" (as in "ending with an .exe"), so they'd know they could be executed anytime.
