The original +release compiled to 250 pages. + +This edition is a special contribution to the GNU project similar to +the version 7.2 of V.E.R.A. It contains approximately 11024 acronyms. + +The idea to make V.E.R.A. available in Texinfo format came after reading +two other Info files both of which are available on the Internet, the +_Standards_ and the _Languages_ file, both dealing with antique DEC +mainframe environments and both distributed stand-alone; that is, both +are not serving as a software manual like most of Texinfo files. I +thought it would be very handy to have a list of acronyms available +while using Emacs. + +It may be considered only a very little contribution. However I make +it to express my appreciation for the GNU project and its philosophy. +This project does not only make software available free to everyone, it +also seems that it sets the only standard `everyone' supports nowadays. + +I started V.E.R.A. around easter 1993. The ASCII version is being +posted to the German=speaking newsgroups _z-netz.alt.listen_ and +_de.etc.lists_ every three months. It is not being posted to an +international newsgroup, because the introduction as well as many +internal references are only available in German. + +Please note that the original version of V.E.R.A. is not related to the +to the Free Software Foundation or the GNU project at all. + +The list is far from being complete as dozens of new acronyms evolve +every month. Also I am not an every day Unix user, so I am pretty sure +that a lot of acronyms from the Unix world are missing. The same is +true for the Apple world. Please don't be angry if your field of +computing seems little or not represented at all. Instead please +consider contributing the missing acronyms to let other people share +what you know. + +The shift from the original format of V.E.R.A. to Texinfo format took a +whole week. Please forgive any errors which still remain. For hints +how to submit corrections or to report bugs, please see *Note History::. + +For a more in-depth discussion of some of the more common acronyms +contained in this document you may want to consider visiting the _Free +Online Dictionary of Computing (FOLDOC)_, at least if you have access +to the World Wide Web. It can be found at http://foldoc.org/ (as of +June 2006). + +2 List format +************* + +*V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms* + +Some notes on the systematic approach of the acronym list: + +Because often acronyms are being referenced not very unique in style, +the acronyms in V.E.R.A. do not contain any special characters; only +characters and numbers are used. Please remember this, when you are +searching for acronyms. + +German umlauts are expressed with AE, ae, OE, oe, UE, ue and ss. + +Examples: + +ASN.1 = ASN1 +OS/2 = OS2 +DFUE, Foerderung, Grossforschungseinrichtung, ... + +What is thought to be the common style can be found at the end of the +line(s) in quotation marks. + +Examples: + +ASN1 + Abstract Syntax Notation One (OSI), "ASN.1" + +ATT + American Telephone and Telegraph, "AT&T" + + + + +2.1 Style of the acronym expansions +=================================== + +The acronym expansions basically follow their acronyms in style. +Exceptions are made if expansions are containing acronyms themselves. +This often leads to an kind of odd or even wrong orthographical style. + +Examples: + +AUX + Apple UniX, "A/UX" + +XT + eXtended Technology + +ACL + Advanced CMOS Logic + + +2.2 Alternative expansions +========================== + +If alternative expansions for the same acronym are known these are +separated by a slash. However that is not true for acronyms of +basically different meanings. + +Examples: + +AE + Apple Events + +AE + Application Entity / Environment / Engineering (APE) + + +2.3 Additional explanations +=========================== + +Terms in square brackets show additional explanations, of which do not +directly belong to the acronym's expansion, but rather to the acronym's +meaning. + +Examples: + +ARM + Annotated [c++] Reference Manual + +RLL + Run Length Limited [encoding] + + +2.4 Reference tags for acronyms +=============================== + +The terms in parenthesis which often appear behind the expansions are +reference links to certain topics or firms and should help you to get an +idea of in which context an acronym is being used. + +Examples: + +WB + WorkBench (Amiga) + +WYSIWYG + What You See Is What You Get (DTP) + + +Please note that the original version of V.E.R.A. is meant to be +formatted in a hypertext environment. Thus some references may seem +redundant in an environment which does not support such links. + +Examples: + +API + Application Program Interface (API) + + +2.5 Concatenated acronyms +========================= + +Often-used concatenated acronyms appear without the space or any special +characters between them. + +Examples: + +AMTPE + Apple Media Tool Programming Environment (Apple), "AMT PE" + +RISCOS + RISC Operating System (Acorn), "RISC OS" + + +2.6 Acronyms pointing to versions +================================= + +When there is a series of related acronyms differing by a number at the +end, V.E.R.A. usually has just one entry, which omits the number. For +example, there are many versions of MNP (Microcom Networking Protocol), +distinguished by numbers; but we do not list MNP4, MNP5 or MNP10, only +MNP. + +So if you look for an acronym that ends in a number, and you don't find +it, try leaving out the number(s). + +2.7 File extensions +=================== + +Please note that file extensions are not covered by V.E.R.A. at the +moment, although some exceptions were made. You will not find things +like EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or GIF (Graphics Interchange Format). + +There are many such lists on the Internet if you should be looking for +file extensions. + +2.8 Gaps +======== + +You will probably notice that some acronym expansions or references are +tagged with three question marks (`???'). This indicates that an +expansion or reference is still missing or uncertain. + +3 Acronym +********* + +An acronym is a word derived from the initial letters or groups of +letters of several other words. + +Popular examples are: +_Laser_, from "(l)ight (a)mplification by (s)timulated (e)mission of +(r)adiation", _Radar_, from "(ra)dio (d)etecting (a)nd (r)anging" or +_snafu_, which should politely be rendered as "(s)ituation (n)ormal, +(a)ll (f)ouled (u)p". + +The word acronym itself derives from the Greek words _akros_ "the +highest, the most outer" and _onoma_ "name". + +Please note that acronyms are always pronounced as the spelling +indicates. + +*Installation as Info file* + +If you like to install V.E.R.A. in your Info environment, there are +three steps to do so: + + 1. Make an Info file from the Texinfo source, type: + + `makeinfo vera.texi' + + (The file extension may differ in your environment.) + + 2. Copy the files generated by the previous step to the directory + where the Info files reside on your site. + + 3. Go to your Info directory and edit the `dir' file. Insert a line + like the following where appropriate. + + `* V.E.R.A.: (vera).
