Obscure 41 Custom Modules: SNEAP Message #1 Posted by Ángel Martin on 28 June 2011, 5:24 a.m. Out of curiosity, anybody has some ideas about the SNEAP activities? These three 8k-modules contain FOCAL programs in French, and appear to be dedicated to science/engineering subjects. Could it be related to the "SYMPOSIUM OF NORTHEASTERN ACCELERATOR PERSONNEL - S.N.E.A.P."? Isn't interesting to see the far-reached presence our beloved 41 had in its peak times...

Re: Obscure 41 Custom Modules: SNEAP Message #2 Posted by Philippe Lasnier on 28 June 2011, 9:07 a.m., in response to message #1 by Ángel Martin Hi Ángel, SNEAP would most probably stand for Société Nationale Elf-Aquitaine Production, a major petrol company in France. I thought the name was familiar - that's because I spent a 6 month placement in one of their research centre (the only one? I can't recall) during my engineering degree in the 1980's. The place was Boussens, in the foothills of the Pyrenées, not far from Toulouse. Lovely. Anyway, SNEAP as a name doesn't exist anymore, although the research centre may still be there in one form or another (the SNEA of SNEAP is now ELF Aquitaine as part of TotalFinaElf). I couldn't possibly speculate on what would be inside the 41 module, but the fact that it would be full of engineering (including petroleum) programs sounds exactly right. All the best, Philippe
