Please refer to the dictionary as "The Free On-line Dictionary
of Computing, http://foldoc.org/, Editor Denis Howe" or similar.
The dictionary has been growing since 1985 and now contains
over 13000 definitions totalling nearly five megabytes of
text. Entries are cross-referenced to each other and to
related resources elsewhere on the net.
Where LaTeX commands for certain non-ASCII symbols are
mentioned, they are described in their own entries. "\" is
also used to represent the Greek lower-case lambda used in
lambda-calculus. Cross-references to other entries look
like this. Note that not all cross-references actually lead
anywhere yet, but if you find one that leads to something
inappropriate, please let me know. Dates
after entries indicate when that entry was last updated. They
do not imply that it was up-to-date at that time.
You can search the latest version of the dictionary on the
WWW at URL http://foldoc.org/. If you find an entry that is
wrong or inadequate please let me know.
See Pronunciation for how to interpret the pronunciation
given for some entries.
