backup browser.

Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension - MIME is used to extend the power of Web browsers to handle graphics, sound, video, etc. & anything but text. (HTML handles nothing but text everything else is an extension.) Browsers recognize MIME types of categories and file types, separated by a slash, e.g., image/gif. If you have registered a MIME type, the browser decodes the file and launches a helper application.

A multi-session CD is a CD whose contents have been added to the CD during more than one recording session. The contents are added sequentially in tracks. There is a break or blank space between tracks to indicate the end of one recording session and the beginning of another.

See pure IP.

A group of interconnected computers, including the hardware and software used to connect them.

The portion of the IP address that identifies the network. A Network ID is used in conjunction with Host IDs to form a complete IP address.

Network File System - The distributed file sharing system of the Unix NOS. NFS uses IP to enable clients to mount remote directories on their local file systems, regard-less of machine or OS. Users can access remote files as if they were local. This remote-file-access-as-local process is completely transparent to the user.

A computer on the Internet, also called a host. Computers that provide a service, such as FTP sites, are called servers.

Network Operating System - An operating system that makes it possible for computers to be on a network, and that manages the different aspects and functions of the network.

An NT Domain is an administrative grouping of hosts on a Windows Network, which allows for the centralized administration of user accounts. Not to be confused with an Internet domain, which is a host-naming convention used to ensure that no two individual hosts on the global Internet have the same hostname. Despite the hierarchical organization of domains in Microsoft’s Network browser, NT Domains have nothing to do with unique namespaces. Both Workgroups and NT Domains are administrative groups of computer systems, which usually represent political or managerial units in an organization. This grouping is used to provide the organization which is displayed in network browsers like the Network Neighborhood under Windows 95, 98 and Windows NT 3.51 or 4.0. To a user, Workgroups and NT Domains look the same in the Network Neighborhood.

The main control program of a computer that schedules tasks, manages storage and handles communication with peripherals.

A storage medium from which data is read and to which data is written by lasers. Optical storage disks store much more data than magnetic media, such as floppy disks and hard disks. There are three basic types of optical disks: CD-ROM and DVD-ROM, WORM (Write Once, Read Many), and erasable.

Data is not sent or received in a continuous stream, it is chopped up into chunks called packets. Each packet contains the address the data is going to the address of the computer that sent it, and some other information. If a packet runs into a problem during its trip, it can attempt to find another route. When all the packets get where they are going, the recipient computer puts them back together again.

Early versions of NCP required a client to send one packet to the server and the server to reply with one packet. This one-for-one packet transfer added a lot of time to the protocol. Novell later introduced Packet Bursts, which allows a client to send one packet to the server, and the server to reply with many, or a burst of packets in one transfer. The many-to-one transfer of packets dramatically speeds up reads from the server. It also works in reverse, with the client sending a burst of packets to the server and receiving only one response from the server.

An accessory program that enhances a main application. An example is the set of additional
