Synopsis
This dictionary has a total wordlist of about 5000 main words, and subsidiary words and expressions derived from them. All the words and expressions are defined in simple terms, and examples are given of how each word is used in context. The vocabulary covers a wide range of applications and all aspects of computing, including hardware, peripherals, desk-top publishing, programming and computer-based media. The definitions are given in simple English, using only about 500 words in addition to the words already listed in the dictionary. This makes it useful for students whose knowledge of technical subjects is limited, or whose first language is not English. Throughout the text encyclopaedic comments are given to expand on the definitions, and short quotations from computer journals and magazines show that the words are used in "real life" contexts. The supplement section gives note on ASCII, EBCDIC, progamming languages, layouts of computer systems, diagrams of RS232 signals and handshaking.
