`AppleTalk
`eS
`
`AppleTalk An inexpensive local-area network (LAN) architecture built into
`all Apple Macintosh computers and laser printers. AppleTalk supports
`Apple’s LocalTalk cabling scheme, as well as Ethernet and IBM Token
`Ring. It can connect Macintosh computers and printers, and even PCs if
`they are equipped with special AppleTalk hardware and software.
`

`OGY.
`
`application A program or group of programs designed for end users. Soft-
`ware can be divided into two general classes: systems software and appli-
`cations software. Systems software consists of low-level programs that in-
`teract with the computer at a very basic level. This includes operating
`systems, compilers, and utilities for managing computer resources.
`In contrast, applications software (also called end-user programs) in-
`cludes database programs, word processors, and spreadsheets. Figura-
`tively speaking, applications software sits on top of systems software be-
`cause it is unable to run without the operating system and system
`utilities.

`FTS file
`
`
`FTS file A hidden index file ending in a_.FTS [f(ull)-t(ext) s(earch)] exten-
`sion used by the Windows 95 and NT Help system. Thefirst time you se-
`lect the Find tab in a Windowshelpfile, the system displays a dialog box
`asking what type of index you wantto create. After you make a selec-
`tion, the system creates an index andstores it in an FTSfile.
`You can delete an FTSfile without harming your system. The help sys-
`tem will recreate the file next time it’s needed.
`
`=> See also EXTENSION; GID FILE; HELP.
`
`full duplex Refers to the transmission of data in two directions simulitane-
`ously. For example, a telephone is a full-duplex device because both par-
`ties can talk at once. In contrast, a walkie-talkie is a half-duplex device
`because only one party can transmit at a time.
`Most modemshavea switch that lets you choose between full-duplex
`and half-duplex modes. The choice depends on which communications
`program you are running.
`In full-duplex mode, data you transmit does not appear on your screen
`until it has been received and sent back by the other party. This enables
`you to validate that the data has been accurately transmitted. If your dis-
`play screen shows two of each character, it probably means that your
`modem is set to half-duplex mode when it should be in full-duplex mode.
`

`
`function 1. In programming, a named section of a program that performs a
`specific task. In this sense, a function is a type of procedure or routine.
`Some programming languages makea distinction between a function,
`which returns a value, and a procedure, which performs some operation
`but does not return a value.
`Most programming languages come with a prewritten set of functions
`that are kept in a library. You can also write your own functions to per-
`form specialized tasks. 2. The term function is also used synonymously
`with operation and command. For example, you execute the delete furnc-
`tion to erase a word.
`
`=> See also COMMAND; LIBRARY; PROCEDURE; PROGRAM; ROUTINE.
`
`functional spec Short for functional specification.
`
`functional specification A formal description of a software system thatis
`used as a blueprint for implementing the program. At minimum, a func-
`tional specification should precisely state the purpose (e.g., the function)
`of the software. Depending on the software engineering methodology
`used, the functional specification might also provide implementation de-
`tails, such as how the project is divided into modules and howthediffer-
`ent modules interact. In addition, a functional specification often de-
`scribes the software from the user’s perspective—how the user interface
`appears and how a user would use the program to perform specific func-
