============ THIS IS THE JARGON FILE, VERSION 2.9.6, 16 AUG 1991 ============
This document (the Jargon File) is in the public domain, to be freely
used, shared, and modified. There are (by intention) no legal
restraints on what you can do with it, but there are traditions about
its proper use to which many hackers are quite strongly attached.
Please extend the courtesy of proper citation when you quote the File,
ideally with a version number, as it will change and grow over time.
(Examples of appropropriate citation form: "Jargon File 2.9.4" or
"The on-line hacker Jargon File, version 2.9.4, July 1991".)
The Jargon File is a common heritage of the hacker culture.

contributions and suggestions from others; to seek out corroborating
information; to cross-reference related entries; to . . .
