(As the internal company FAQ states; this was of course before my time
here):
It was a play on the name of another local software company named
after a flowering plant. (You may have heard of them...)

It also happens that papyrus was one of the ancient forms of
communication (the first paper, to make some rough generalizations),
so that was another little neat thing about the name.

Well I'll be.....!!
Thanks for that explanation on the "Papyrus" name, Jim.  For years I'd been
under the impression that, as the company was "motor-racing" oriented, it
was a play on or take-off of the "Lotus" (another Egyptian plant) name!
