7-Zip is a free file archiver by Igor Pavlov, for the Windows operating systems distributed under the GNU LGP license. 7-Zip supports 7z, ZIP, RAR, CAB, ARJ, GZIP, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB compressed file formats enabling UnixTAR archives to be created and decompressed under Windows. 7-Zip is comprised of three clients modules: a plug in for Windows Explorer, a plug in for the FAR Manager, and a command line version.

In computing, an account is a login name and a password, perhaps a personal directory (certainly on a Unix system) and perhaps a shell (certainly on a Unix system) and perhaps personal settings for a graphical (window) environment.
AIDX is a derogatory term for IBM's perverted version of UNIX, AIX, especially for the AIX 3.? used in the IBM RS/6000 series. A victim of the dreaded 'hybridism' disease, this attempt to combine the two main currents of the UNIXstream (BSD and USG UNIX) became a monstrosity to haunt system administrators' dreams. For example, if new accounts are created while many users are logged on, the load average jumps quickly over 20 due to a silly implementation of the user databases. Research Aidx
In computing, an alias is a Unix mechanism used in a shell in order to make it substitute a string by another before executing a command. Research Alias
AutoCAD Release 10 is a two and three-dimensional computer aided drafting and design system. The product lets you define screens and optional pull-down menus and create parts libraries by drawing them, so the system can be geared to a specific requirement. The product is a general-purpose system suitable for a wide variety of applications including architectural and landscape drawings; drafting for mechanical, electrical, chemical, structural, and civil engineering; and printed circuitdesign. Drawing and editing features include move, copy, modify, dimension, scale, mirror, hatch, rotate, fill, and erase objects in a drawing. Repetitive patterns such as brick walls, memory arrays, or office components can be generated automatically. Colours and an unlimited number of layers may be used, allowing selective viewing or plotting of drawings as if on transparent overlays. The full bi-directional zoom facility allows you to work at any level of detail.
The ratio between the largest and smallest objects in a drawing can be over a trillion to one. An alignment grid can be displayed. Distances and areas can be calculated and displayed. Three-dimensional drawing capability, AutoCAD's most notable feature, lets you represent an object so it can be seen from any angle. AutoCAD Release 10 also features associative dimensioning, which automatically updates the dimensions of a drawing whenever an object is scaled, stretched, or rotated. Release 10 allows you to construct objects in CAD much as you would build a structure. The approach is modular; that is, each piece of the final drawing is created as a separate object. To build an office building, you define the plane for the front of the building, move to that plane or a view of that plane to draw, then move to the side defining a new plane, and soon until a complete two or three-dimensional structure stands. An analogy to drafting does not work because a drafting table cannot be situated in a three-dimensional plane.
AutoCAD Release 10 supports the Intel Above Board, which increases the speed at which large, complex drawings can be created and edited. It supports the Initial Graphics Exchange Standard (ICES, Version 2.0) for both input and output, so translations can be made between AutoCAD Release 10 and other systems supporting IGES. You can transfer AutoCAD Release 10 drawing files among four operating systems: PC or MSDOS, SunUNIX, DECVMS, and ApolloAEGIS. Research AutoCAD
Awk is a UNIX interpreted language for massaging text data developed by Alfred Aho, Peter Weinberger, and Brian Kernighan (the name is formed from their initials). It is characterised by a C-like syntax, a declaration-free approach to variable typing and declarations, associative arrays, and field-oriented text processing. Research Awk
In computing, a back door is a hole in the security of a system deliberately left in place by designers or maintainers. The motivation for this is not always sinister; some operating systems, for example, come out of the box with privileged accounts intended for use by field service technicians or the vendor's maintenance programmers. Historically, back doors have often lurked in systems longer than anyone expected or planned, and a few have become widely known. The infamous RTM worm of late 1988, for example, used a back door in the BSDUNIX 'sendmail(8)' utility. Research Back door
Basys is a client-server computer system used by almost all broadcasting organisations for storing and manipulating newsroom information including: wire stories, show scripts, assignment lists and contact files. The main database runs on a UNIX file server (usually two or three mirrored computers) supporting a number of client workstations which are either dumb terminals (VT) or DOS/ Windows based PCs. The system is used by journalists to write the news stories which are then broadcast. Basys is very configurable, and many organisations use customised versions - the BBC's version being called 'Edit'. Research Basys
