®
Software developed by Adobe Systems Inc. (formerly developed by Macromedia, Inc.),
and used to create data combining vector-graphic animation and sound, and the format of
this data file. The bidirectional content can be manipulated using a keyboard and a mouse.
The files can be kept relatively compact, and they can be accessed with the Web browser
plug-in.
A generic name for the protocol suite developed by Apple Computer for computer net-
working.
Abbreviation for Binary Digit. The smallest unit of information (data quantity) on a computer
or printer. Displays data using 0 or 1.
Abbreviation for Bitmap. A file format for saving image data which uses the .bmp exten-
sion.
Commonly used on Windows platforms. You can specify the color depth from mono-
chrome (2 values) to full color (16,777,216 colors). Images are not usually compressed
when saved.
Mac network technology for automatically detecting devices connected to the network
and for specifying settings. Previously called "Rendezvous", the name was changed to

With collective management of the IP address for DHCP clients on the DHCP server, you
can avoid duplication of an address and you can build a network easily.
Abbreviation for Domain Name System.
A system that acquires the supported IP addresses from host names in a network environ-
