`example, Windows 95) distribution disks.
`cabinet \kab’a—nat‘\ n. The box in which the main
`
`
`
`named because its immediate predecessor was the
`B programming language. Although C is consid-
`ered by many to be more a machine—independent
`assembly language than a high—level language, its
`close association with the UNIX operating system,
`its enormous popularity, and its standardization by
`the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
`have made it perhaps the closest thing to a stan-
`dard programming language in the microcom-
`puter/workstation marketplace. C is a compiled
`language that contains a small set of built—in func-
`tions that are machine dependent. The rest of the
`C functions are machine independent and are con-
`tained in libraries that can be accessed from C pro-
`grams. C programs are composed of one or more
`functions defined by the programmer; thus C is a
`structured programming language. See also C++,
`compiled language,
`library, Objective—C,
`struc~
`tured programming.
`C++ \C‘plus—plus’\ n. An object—oriented version
`of the C programming language, developed by
`Bjarne Stroustrup in the early 1980s at Bell Labo-
`ratories and adopted by a number of vendors,
`including Apple Computer and Sun Microsystems,
`Inc. See also C, object—oriented programming,
`Objective—C.

`C2 \C—t66’\
`U.S. National Computer Security Center’s hierar-
`chy of criteria for
`trusted computer systems,
`requiring user logon with password and a mecha—
`nism for auditing. The C2 level is outlined in the
`Orange Book. See also Orange Book (definition 1).
`.ca \dot‘C—A’\
`71. On the Internet, the major geo-
`graphic domain specifying that an address is
`located in Canada.

`
`Cable \ka’bl\
`
`11. A collection of wires shielded
`
`within a protective tube, used to connect periph~
`eral devices to a computer. A mouse, a keyboard,
`and a printer might all be connected to a computer
`with cables. Printer cables typically implement a
`serial or a parallel path for data to travel along.
`cable connector \ka’bl ka~nek‘tar\ n. The con-
`nector on either end of a cable. See also DB
`
`connector, DIN connector, RS—232—C standard, RS-

`microfiche \mi’kr6—fésh‘\ n. A small sheet of
`
`film, about 4 by 6 inches, used for recording pho-
`tographically reduced images, such as document
`pages,
`in rows and columns forming a grid pat-
`tern. The resulting images are too small to read
`with the naked eye, and a microfiche reader is
`required to view the documents. Compare micro-
`film.
`
`microfhn \mi’krc')—film‘\ n. A thin strip of film
`stored on a roll and used to record sequential data
`images. As with microfiche, a special device mag—

`sliding metal cover. On the Macintosh, a single-
`sided microfloppy disk can hold 400 kilobytes
`(KB); a double—sided (standard) disk can hold 800
`KB; and a double—sided high—density disk can hold
`1.44 megabytes (MB). On IBM and compatible
`machines, a microfloppy can hold either 720 KB or
`1.44 MB of information. See also floppy disk.
`microform \mi’krc‘>—f6rm‘\ V1. The medium, such
`as microfilm or microfiche, on which a photo—

`microkernel \mi’kr6—k9r‘n9l\
`ming, the strictly hardware—dependent part of an
`operating system that is intended to be portable
`from one type of computer to another. The micro—
`kernel provides a hardware—independent interface
`to the rest of the operating system, so only the
`microkernel needs to be rewritten to port
`the
`operating system to a different platform. See also
`kernel, operating system. 2. A kernel that has been
`designed with only the basic features and typically
`in a modular fashion.
`
`micrologic \mi’kr6—loj‘ik\ 7/1. A set of instructions,
`stored in binary form, or a set of electronic logic
`circuits that defines and governs the operation
`within a microprocessor.

`nent, especially one that is a refinement of an
`already miniaturized element.
`microphone \mi’kr9—f6n‘\
`71. 1. A device that
`converts sound waves into analog electrical sig-
`nals. Additional hardware can convert the micro-
`
`phone’s output into digital data that a computer
`can process; for example, to record multimedia
`documents or analyze the sound signal. 2. A com-
`munications program that runs on the Apple Mac-
`intosh computer.
`71. A central
`microprocessor \mi‘kr6—pros’es—ar\

`microprocessor can have over 1 million transistors
`in an integrated—circuit package that is roughly 1
`inch square. Microprocessors are at the l'1€2.1T of all
`personal computers. When memory and power
`are added to a microprocessor, all
`the pieces,
`excluding peripherals, required for a computer are
`present. The most popular lines of microproces-
`sors today are the 680x0 family from Motorola,
`which powers the Apple Macintosh line, and the
`80x86 family from Intel, which is at the core of all
`IBM PC—compatible and PS/2 computers. See also

`procedure \pr9—sé’j9r\ n. In a program, a named
`sequence of statements, often with associated con-
`stants, data types, and variables, that usually per-
`forms a single task. A procedure can usually be
`called (executed) by other procedures, as well as
`by the main body of the program. Some languages
`distinguish between a procedure and a function,
`with the latter (the function) returning a value. See

`operating system originally developed by Ken
`Thompson and Dennis Ritchie at AT&T Bell Labo-
`ra ories in 1969 for use on minicomputers. UNIX is
`considered a powerful operating system that,
`because it is written in the C language,
`is more
`portable—that

`less machine—specific—than
`other operating systems. UNIX is available in sev-
`eral related forms,
`including AIX (a version of
`U\IIX adapted by IBM to run on RlSC~based work-
`stations), A/UX (a graphical version for the Apple
`Macintosh), and Mach (a rewritten but essentially
`U\IIX-compatible operating system for the NeXT
`computer). See also BSD UNIX, GNU, Linux.
