well, officially, it's FIle Developer (that's what the DOS 3.3 manuals say)
but it really stands for Fishead In Disguise. (The program was originally
called FISHEAD, which probably stood for something, but Apple didn't like
that name and insisted that it be renamed.)
See the October 1986 (Vol. 2, No. 9) issue of Open Apple. top of the second
column on page 2.71
