ARJ DEVELOPER'S GLOSSARY
This file contains some abbreviations and jargon words used in ARJ source and
accompanying materials.
* ASR - ARJ Software Russia. Whenever mentioned in "ASR fix", this is
a reminder that the original version of ARJ doesn't have such
modification. By the way, here is how it works in Emacs with
hilit19:
(hilit-translate asrfix 'skyblue-underline)
(hilit-add-pattern "ASR [Ff][Ii][Xx]" "" 'asrfix 'c-mode t)
* Bindings - Fixed combinations of platform type, compiler type, NLV,
debug/release type and special options. When bound together,
these parameters dictate the behavior of packaging modules
and affect the data types (e.g. FMSG is binding-dependent in
that a combination of SFX_LEVEL and TILED parameters makes
it a far pointer).
* CFA - Compact Filelist array. Introduced in version 2.72 as a means
of enlarging the filelist capacity. Technically it's a bitmap
of flags that reflects the status of each individual file,
as whether it has been already processed, or not.
* G-size - Huffman dictionary size (not to confuse with Huffman buffer
size) in the compression module. Permanently fixed at 26624
for compatibility reasons but may be raised with an
undocumented parameter.
* LIBC - Any dynamically-linked C library. Under OS/2-32, the XPG.4
LIBC. The challenge with OS/2 is that a wide choice of
compilers are available; making them use IBM LIBC requires
special hacking (see #ifdef`s), the reward being smaller
executables.
* NLV - National Language Version. (seems to be a widespread term)
* TCO - Total Content Offering, originally known as an IBM service to
assist legacy customers with leveraging their existing
installations, providing private builds and prolonged service
at special cost. In ARJ, the TCO branch(es) represent the
commercial versions still being developed separately from the
GPL one, and kept at a private CVS machine. The principal
difference being the ARJ-SECURITY support, though the
commercial line becomes more and more divergent as new code
flows into the Open-Source ARJ.
* YATF - Yet Another Typo Fix. Used to designate minor fixes in
ChangeLogs.
