Packet
Switching |
The
method used to move data around on the Internet. In
packet switching, all the data coming out of a machine
is broken up into chunks, each chunk has the address
of where it came from and where it is going. This
enables chunks of data from many different sources
to co-mingle on the same lines, and be sorted and
directed along different routes by special machines
along the way. This way many people can use the same
lines at the same time.
You might think of several caravans of trucks all
using the same road system to carry materials. |

Protected Directories |
Password
protected directories allow you to protect information
on your web site by specifying a single user or multi-user
password protected directory. Password protected directories
will allow you to store information online that will
not be accessible to the general site visitor. This
feature is a great tool in giving specific people
a place to log into on your site and view documentation
that is for them only. |

PDF
-- (Portable Document Format) |
A
file format designed to enable printing and viewing
of documents with all their formatting (typefaces,
images, layout, etc.) appearing the same regardless
of what operating system is used, so a PDF document
should look the same on Windows, Macintosh, Linux,
OS/2, etc. The PDF format is based on the widely used
Postscript document-description language. Both PDF
and Postscript were developed by the Adobe Corporation.
