In computing, an operating system (OS) is the system software [...] =2E.. well ... System software From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. System software is a generic term referring to any computer software whose purpose is to help run the computer system. =2E.. ok, so it's "computer software", now, what's that? Computer software From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Computer software (or simply software) refers to one or more computer programs held in the storage of a computer for some purpose. =2E.. and here we go, it's a "computer program" (what a surprise) -- your second link. :) "program" is a very generic term, and I think it's a pretty strange idea to pretend it isn't... btw. I think the word for the kind of program you consider the "usual sense" would be "application". cheers sascha --=20 Sascha Wilde=20 - no sig today... sorry! --EVF5PPMfhYS0aIcm Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC8fF5chutvmkRUCQRAp1GAJ9yrw/vbMaWqOqh/GjS01R/sqlTUgCgiF22 a90zUjZh/BZGDmbW1jkSmHE= =kekU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --EVF5PPMfhYS0aIcm-- --===============1221963569== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel --===============1221963569==--
