How about tentacle. As in the thing cephalopods use to wrap an otherwise impenetrable shell and forcibly pry it open, exposing it's contents for consumption. That could work for a tool that grabs the binaries (shells), cracks them open and displays their contents for the public. bob: "We're going to do a release!" joe: "I can't wait to get my tentacles on it." Maybe the plural, tentacles. You can't do much with one tentacle. -David
