What about UNDEFINED in regards to "a larger program" term do you not understand? Consider: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com:80/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/CEEA8130/3.1.1 ("3.1.1 Language Environment Program Management Model Terminology") ".... Some terms used to describe the program management model are common programming terms; other terms are described differently in other languages. It is important that you understand the meaning of the terminology in a Language Environment context as compared to other contexts. For more detailed definitions of these and other Language Environment terms, consult the "Language Environment Glossary" in topic GLOSSARY. General Programming Terms: Application program A collection of one or more programs cooperating to achieve particular objectives, such as inventory control or payroll. Environment In Language Environment, normally a reference to the run-time environment of HLLs at the enclave level. Language Environment Terms and Their HLL Equivalents: Routine In Language Environment, refers to either a procedure, function, or subroutine. Equivalent HLL terms: COBOL--program; C/C++--function; PL/I--procedure, BEGIN block. Enclave The enclave defines the scope of HLL semantics. In Language Environment, a collection of routines, one of which is named as the main routine. The enclave contains at least one thread. Equivalent HLL terms: COBOL--run unit, C/C++--program, consisting of a main C function and its subfunctions, PL/I--main procedure and its subroutines, and Fortran--program and its subroutines. Process The highest level of the Language Environment program management model. A process is a collection of resources, both program code and data, and consists of at least one enclave. Thread An execution construct that consists of synchronous invocations and terminations of routines. The thread is the basic run-time path within the Language Environment program management model, and is dispatched by the system with its own run-time stack, instruction counter, and registers. Threads may exist concurrently with other threads. ...." regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
