True. wossname looks through the ACD files, but only reports 
applications that exist in the path.

When you use ACDC to build and test ACD files you can accumulate extra 
ACD files that wossname has to ignore.

Also, when you updata to a new EMBOSS release you can have old ACD files 
still installed.

Hope this helps
