In English, "JuerLink" looks like it's pronounced "joo-er-link". Is that intended?
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!

Thanks again for your valuable feedback!

Sorry, I'm not sure how "joo-er-link" is pronounced in English. The idea was, that "JuerLink" might sound similar to "your link".

And what about Link++ ? :-)

I think I've got a good name now, and (to my surprise) it's not in use:
NiftyLink

Do you think that it's OK?

On that page, it reads "nifty links" (two words). I also found some occurrences of "nifty links" on the internet, but in this case IMHO "nifty" is a normal English adjective, and "links" is a normal English noun. In my opinion, this is not the same as "NiftyLink" in one word, used as a name.
