I prefer to reference the pieces as:
Host - the primary system in which 1 or more components are installed
Component - a library of functions and/or forms which are focused on a specific
task
less confusing :)
and 4D references both of these terms at various points in their documentation

Jody,
Yes, that term took a while to get used to…
It is basically just your 4D database that contains all the code, forms, etc
that you are putting into your component.
Components are matrix databases whose files are suffixed either .4db
(interpreted matrix database), .4dc (compiled matrix dat
I really want to place a bunch of our code / forms into a component. It will
make it much easier to install into other systems, and to update that code /
forms as into older designed system that use an older version of the component.
Of course it also protects what could otherwise be unprotected
