`
`
`end-of-text Abbreviated ETX. A character used in
`data transmission to denote the end of a text file.
`Endrlof—text does not necessarily mean end-of—
`transmission (EOT) because a transmission can
`include a substantial number of error-checking
`and transmission-control characters that precede
`and follow the text portion of the message. In the
`ASCII coding scheme, ETX is represented by the
`decimal value 3 (hexadecirnal 03).
`end-of-transmission Abbreviated EOT. A sym-
`bol designating the end of a transmission. In the
`ASCII coding scheme, end-of-transmission is a
`transmission-control character with the decimal
`value 4 (hexadecimal 04).
`endpoint The beginning or end of a line segment.
`end user Traditionally, the recipient of computer
`output; with microcomputers, a term used in ref-
`erence to the people who use (as opposed to
`design or program) computers and computer
`applications.
`engine The portion of a program that determines
`how the program manages and manipulates data.
`An engine thus differs from a user interface, with
`which the user communicates with the program,
`and it differs from other parts of a program, such
`as installation routines and device drivers, which
`enable the program to use a computer system
`and its components. The term engine is seldom
`used on its own; it is more often mentioned in
`relation to a particuflar program. For example, a
`database engine is the portion of a database-
`management program that contains the tools for
`manipulating a database. Rarely, engine is also
`used to refer to a microprocessor. Compare back-
`end processor, front-end processor.

`Standard.
`
`end—around carry An end-around shift operation
`on a binary value that uses the carry bit as an ex—
`tra bit—that is, moves the carry bit from one end of
`the value to the other. See also carry, end-around
`shift, shift.
`
`end-around shift The act of shifting a binary
`value in such a way that the bit being shifted out
`of one end gets shifted into the other end. For
`example, a right end-around shift on the binary
`value 00101001 results in the value 10010100. See
`also shift.
`
`en dash A punctuation mark (—) used to indicate
`a range of dates or numbers (for example, 1980—
`90) or to separate the elements of a compound
`adjective, one part of which is hyphenated 0r
`consists of two words (for example, pre—Ciw’l
`War). An en dash is named for a typographical
`unit of measure called the en (half the width of an
`em). Compare em dash, hyphen.
`End key A cursor-control key that moves the cur-
`sor directly to a defined position. The “end” to
`which the cursor moves varies with the program
`that is running; it might, for example, be the end
`of a line of text, the end of a screen, or the end of
`a file.
`
`endless loop See infinite loop.
`end mark A symbol that designates the end of
`some entity, such as a file or a word-processing
`document.
`.
`end-of-file Abbreviated EOF. A code placed by a
`program after the last byte in'a file. An EOF char-
`acter is a marker that tells the computer’s operat—
`ing system that no additional data follows.
`Although it seems redundant, an EOF character is
`usually needed to mark the actual point at which
`a file ends because file space is allocated in
`blocks of bytes. Thus, the true end of a file, if it
`appears in the middle of the last allocated group
`of bytes, is not the same as the so—called physical
`end-of-file (the last byte of storage space set
`aside for the data contained in the file). In the
`ASCII coding scheme, EOF is represented by
`the decimal value 26 (hexadecimal 1A) or the
`Control-Z control character.

`enhanced keyboard The 101/102-key keyboard
`introduced by IBM partway through the life of
`the IBM PC/AT. This layout remains the standard
`keyboard for the PS/2 line and has become the
`de facto standard for most IBM-compatible key-
`boards. See the illustration on the next page. The
