It was designed to avoid some of the perceived problems with FORTRAN for backward compatibility with historic Buran ( spacecraft ) ALGOL software.

Although early Commodore advertisements attempted to cast the computer as an all-purpose business machine, the Amiga was most commercially successful as a home computer, with a wide range of games and creative software.

The 68000 has a 16-bit external data bus so must transfer 32 bits of data in two consecutive steps, a technique called multiplexing: all this is transparent to the software, which was 32-bit from the beginning.

Although the hardware is limited to four separate sound channels, software such as OctaMED uses software mixing to allow eight or more virtual channels, and it was possible for software to mix two hardware channels to achieve a single 14-bit resolution channel by playing with the volumes of the channels in such a way that one of the source channels contributes the most significant bits and the other the least.

A retargetable sound API called AHI was developed allowing these cards to be used transparently by the OS and software.

Whilst it may not have been as popular as the Spectrum, Commodore 64 or Amstrad CPC, it did sell in sufficient numbers to ensure that new software was being produced right up until the early 1990s.

This was quickly remedied by First Byte Computers who developed an interface and software which allowed a " switched " joystick to be used with the majority of software titles.

The most basic solution was a pure software system supplied on a ROM cartridge that drew a low resolution approximation of the mode 7 display in a graphics mode.

The first used the same graphics processor as the BBC Micro in mode 7 — the SAA5050 — but used software to ensure that it was fed with the correct graphics data.

A software ROM was still supplied, but this did no more than expand the hardware ROM so that it knew mode 7 now existed and was able to switch into it.

Tridgell was a major developer of the Samba software, analysing the Server Message Block protocol used for workgroup and network file sharing by Microsoft Windows products.

* The program was stored as a linked list of lines ; a or took O ( n ) ( linear ) time, and although Applesoft programs were not very long compared to today's software, on a 1 MHz 6502 this could be a significant bottleneck.

AIX was the first operating system to utilize journaling file systems, and IBM has continuously enhanced the software with features like processor, disk and network virtualization, dynamic hardware resource allocation ( including fractional processor units ), and reliability engineering ported from its mainframe designs.

One of the more popular desktop applications was the PageMaker desktop publishing software.

Although the Aster was a clone of the TRS-80 model I it was in fact more compatible with the TRS-80 model III, and ran all the software of these systems including games.

It also had a built in speaker which was compatible with such games software.

A third mode was entered with a special boot floppy which turned the Aster into a Videotex terminal with a 40x25 display and a Videotex character set, The software used the built in RS232 interface of the Aster to control a modem through which it could contact a Prestel service provider.

Another important demand was that the computers could be used in a network ( Aster developed special software and hardware for that ).

Later however the Government turned around and gave 50 % of the order to Philips and their P2000 homecomputer even though the P2000 did not meet all the technical demands, was made in Austria and did not have network hard nor software.

The software's license gives the user the right to use the software in the licensed environment.

The discipline differs from many other technical professions in that programmers, in general, do not need to be licensed or pass any standardized ( or governmentally regulated ) certification tests in order to call themselves " programmers " or even " software engineers.

Under a freeware license, software is licensed free of charge for regular use and the developer does not gain any monetary compensation.

Since then it has been open source software, originally under a license particular to AT & T but, since the 93q release in early 2005, it has been licensed under the Common Public License.

It is a permissive free software license, meaning that it permits reuse within proprietary software provided all copies of the licensed software include a copy of the MIT License terms.

The MusicBrainz client software library, libmusicbrainz, is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License, which allows use of the code by proprietary software products.

The leaked code was confirmed to be genuine as its output was found to match that of proprietary software using licensed RC4.

The software bundle was later renamed ZetaLisp, to distinguish the Symbolics ' product from other vendors who had also licensed the MIT software.

The Lisp Machine system software was then copyrighted by MIT, and was licensed to Symbolics.

A company can also break the copy protection of programs that they have legally purchased but that are licensed to particular hardware, so that there is no risk of downtime due to hardware failure ( and, of course, no need to restrict oneself to running the software on bought hardware only ).

Pine is no longer under development, and has been replaced by the new Alpine client, which is licensed as free software.

Opera Software's proprietary Presto engine is licensed to a number of other software vendors, and is used in Opera's own web browser.

As an example of viral licensing outside software, after it was revealed that French author Michel Houellebecq plagiarized sections of Wikipedia articles in his novel La Carte et Le Territoire, some commentators said that this automatically made his entire book licensed under the ShareAlike license.

Since then, the Legal Information Institute at Cornell Law School has licensed out the Cello 2. 0 source code which has been used to develop commercial software.

This may also serve to make it difficult to develop third-party software which interoperates with the licensed software, thus increasing the value of the publisher's solutions through decreased customer choice.

Bison is licensed as free software and is available in source code form.

* Commercial software, a software that is licensed for a fee

The Debian project rejects software covered by solely QPL ( and not dual licensed with something else like the GPL ) because of:

In computer systems, an algorithm is basically an instance of logic written in software by software developers to be effective for the intended " target " computer ( s ), in order for the target machines to produce output from given input ( perhaps null ).

* Static code analysis – the analysis of computer software that is performed without actually executing programs built from that

The Electron is widely misquoted as operating at 1. 79 MHz after measurements derived from speed testing against the thoroughly 2 MHz BBC Micro for various pieces of ' common software '

Astrology saw a popular revival from the nineteenth century as part of a general revival of spiritualism and later New Age philosophy, and through the influence of mass media such as newspaper horoscopes and astrology software.

The pupils could download software from the teachers computer through a network based on a fast serial connection, as well as sending back their work to the teachers computer.

In HR-CS AAS background correction is carried out mathematically in the software using information from detector pixels that are not used for measuring atomic absorption ; hence, in contrast to LS AAS, no additional components are required for background correction.

The digital signature long prevented homebrew games from being developed until the original encryption generating software was discovered.

* 1991: Sofmap begins its rise as a major seller of new and used Japan-market computer parts and software, including popular systems from NEC ( PC-8801 and 9801 ), Sharp ( X68000 ) and Fujitsu ( FM-Towns ).

Both BASICs differed from other dialects on different platforms, in that they allowed the easy creation of fairly demanding multimedia software, with full structured code and many high-level functions to load images, animations, sounds and display them in various ways.

Abstraction allows program designers to separate categories and concepts from instances of implementation, so that they do not depend on software or hardware.

However, there are resources available that facilitate this process by offering free instructions on how to draw a 3D beading diagram using free software available from inkscape. org, in the hopes that clearer beading diagrams will allow easier access to 3D beading patterns.

In the UK, the BBC Micro based OBBS software, available from Pace for use with their modems, optionally allowed for colour and graphics using the Teletext based graphics mode available on that platform.

The Internet has largely erased the distinction of shareware-most users now download the software directly from the developer's website rather than receiving it from another BBS user ' sharing ' it.

Today shareware is commonly used to mean electronically distributed software from a small developer.

The three Danes had embarked, at first successfully, on marketing software first from Denmark, and later from Ireland, before running into some challenges at the time when they met Philippe Kahn.

This required new kinds of marketing and support materials from software vendors, but Borland remained focused on the technical side of its products.

The change from pure hardware to software is on the rise, and big DJs are introducing new equipment to their kits such as the laptop, and dropping the difficulty of carrying hundreds of CDs with them.

* Microsoft Windows contains application compatibility shims to make the platform compatible with most software from earlier 32-bit and 16-bit versions ( e. g. Civilization ( circa 1991, designed for Windows 3. 0 ) running on Windows Vista ).

In modern computer systems, the BIOS chip's contents can be rewritten without removing it from the motherboard, allowing BIOS software to be upgraded in place.

The notation aspect of the Booch method has now been superseded by the Unified Modeling Language ( UML ), which features graphical elements from the Booch method along with elements from the object-modeling technique ( OMT ) and object-oriented software engineering ( OOSE ).
