  623. A set of rules or standards designed to enable computers to connect with one another and to exchange information with as little error as possible. The protocol generally accepted for standardizing overall compu
  624. ter communications is a seven-layer set of hardware and software guidelines known as the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. A somewhat different standard, widely used before the OSI model was developed, 
  625. is IBM's SNA (Systems Network Architecture). However, protocols exist within protocols, all affecting different aspects of communication. Thus, the word protocol is used, sometimes confusingly, in reference to 
  626. a multitude of standards affecting different aspects of communication. Some, such as the RS-232-C standard, affect hardware connections. Other standards govern data transmission; among these are the parameters 
  627. and handshaking signals (such as XON/XOFF) used in asynchronous (typically, modem) communications, as well as such data-coding methods as bit-oriented and byte-oriented protocols. Still other protocols, such as
  628.  the widely used XMODEM, govern file transfer, and others yet, such as CSMA/ CD, define the methods by which messages are passed around the stations on a local area network. Taken as a whole, these various and 
  629. sometimes conflicting protocols represent attempts to ease the complex process of enabling computers of different makes and models to communicate.

  760. In programming, the organization of a program into groups of statements called blocks that are each treated as a unit. Many programming languages
  761. most notably Ada, C, and Pascal
  762. support block structure. A block
  763.  is a section of code surrounded by certain delimiters (such as BEGIN and END or { and }) that can be treated as if it were a single statement. For example, in C, each function is a separate block. Block structCvure also limits the scope of constants, data types, and variables declared in a block to that block. See also scope.

  844. The process of applying pattern-matching methods to character shapes that have been read into a computer to determine which alphanumeric characters or punctuation marks the shapes represent. Because different t
  845. ypefaces and text treatments, such as bold and italic, can make big differences in the way characters are shaped, character recognition can be prone to error. Some systems work only with known typefaces and siz
  846. es, with no text treatments. These systems achieve very high accuracy levels, but they can work only with text specifically printed for them. Other systems use extremely sophisticated pattern-matching technique
  847. s to learn new typefaces and sizes, achieving fairly good accuracy. See also magnetic-ink character recognition, optical character recognition, pattern recognition.

  926.  In file storage, the route followed by an operating system to find the location of a stored file. A full access path begins with a drive or volume (disk) designator and continues through a chain of directories
  927.  and subdirectories (if any), ending with the fllename. Access paths are used by the operating systems on IBM and compatible microcomputers and on Macintosh computers. See also path, tree.

  930. amic allocation, in which memory is allocated and deallocated while the program is running. Dynamic memory allocation is done either explicitly, by issuing a memory allocation request, or implicitly, when contrDkol passes to various subroutines (blocks) in a program. See also deallocate, dynamic allocation, pointer.
