microsoft access
(foldoc) | Microsoft Access
MS Access
1. A relational database running under {Microsoft
Windows}. Data is stored as a number of "tables",
e.g. "Stock". Each table consists of a number of "records"
(e.g. for different items) and each record contains a number
of "fields", e.g. "Product code", "Supplier", "Quantity in
stock".
Access allows the user to create "forms" and "reports". A
form shows one record in a user-designed format and allows the
user to step through records one at a time. A report shows
selected records in a user-designed format, possibly grouped
into sections with different kinds of total (including sum,
minimum, maximum, average).
There are also facilities to use links ("joins") between
tables which share a common field and to filter records
according to certain criteria or search for particular field
values.
Version: 2 (date?).

2. A communications program from Microsoft,
meant to compete with ProComm and other programs. It sucked
and was dropped. Years later they reused the name for their
database.

microsoft basic
(foldoc) | Microsoft Basic
MS-BASIC
(MS-BASIC) A dialect of BASIC from Microsoft,
originally developed by Bill Gates in a garage back in the
CP/M days. It was originally known as GWBasic, then QBASIC
and finally MS-BASIC.
When the MS-DOS operating system came out, it incorporated
the GWBASIC.EXE or BASICA.EXE interpreters. GWBASIC ("Gee
Whiz") incorporated graphics and a screen editor and was
compatible with earlier BASICs.
QBASIC was more sophisticated. Version 4.5 had a full screen
editor, debugger and compiler. The compiler could also
produce executable files but to run these a utility program
(BRUN44.EXE) had to be present. Thus source code could be
kept private.
From DOS 5.0 or 6.0 onward, MS-BASIC was standard.
Version 1.1 produced stand-alone executables and could
display graphics.

Microsoft DOS
MS-DOS
/M S doss/ (Or "MS-DOS", "PC-DOS",
"MS-DOG", "mess-dos") Microsoft Corporation's clone of
the CP/M disk operating system for the 8088 crufted
together in 6 weeks by hacker Tim Paterson, who is said to
have regretted it ever since.
MS-DOS is a single user operating system that runs one
program at a time and is limited to working with one megabyte
of memory, 640 kilobytes of which is usable for the
application program. Special add-on EMS memory boards
allow EMS-compliant software to exceed the 1 MB limit.
Add-ons to DOS, such as Microsoft Windows and DESQview,
take advantage of EMS and allow the user to have multiple
applications loaded at once and switch between them.
Numerous features, including vaguely Unix-like but rather
broken support for subdirectories, I/O redirection and
pipelines, were hacked into MS-DOS 2.0 and subsequent
versions; as a result, there are two or more incompatible
versions of many system calls, and MS-DOS programmers can
never agree on basic things like what character to use as an
option switch ("-" or "/"). The resulting mess became the
highest-unit-volume operating system in history. It was
used on many Intel 16 and 32 bit microprocessors and {IBM
PC} compatibles.
Many of the original DOS functions were calls to BASIC (in
ROM on the original IBM PC), e.g. Format and Mode. People
with non-IBM PCs had to buy MS-Basic (later called
GWBasic). Most version of DOS came with some version of
BASIC.
Also know as PC-DOS or simply DOS, ignoring the fact that
there were many other OSes with that name, starting in the
mid-1960s with IBM's first disk operating system for the
IBM 360.

MSX machines were produced by such giants as Sony, Yamaha,
Panasonic, Toshiba, Daewoo, and Philips.
The MSX standard was designed by a company called ASCII in
cooperation with Microsoft who provided a firmware version
of its BASIC for the machine. Because this BASIC version
was an extended version of MicroSoft Basic, it was called
"MicroSoft eXtended BASIC"; Hence "MSX".
Microsoft also produced MSX-DOS - a stripped-down version of
MS-DOS.
Extensions to the MSX included MSX2, MSX2+ and TurboR.

Mail Application Programming Interface
MAPI
Messaging Applications Programming Interface
Microsoft Mail Application Program Interface
(MAPI) A messaging architecture and a client
interface component for applications such as {electronic
mail}, scheduling, calendaring and document management. As a
messaging architecture, MAPI provides a consistent interface
for multiple application programs to interact with multiple
messaging systems across a variety of hardware platforms.
MAPI provides better performance and control than {Simple
MAPI}, Common Messaging Calls (CMC) or the {Active Messaging
Library}. It has a comprehensive, open, dual-purpose
interface, integrated with Microsoft Windows. MAPI can be
used by all levels and types of client application and
"service providers" - driver-like components that provide a
MAPI interface to a specific messaging system. For example, a
word processor can send documents and a workgroup
application can share and store different types of data using
MAPI.
MAPI separates the programming interfaces used by the client
applications and the service providers. Every component works
with a common, Microsoft Windows-based user interface. For
example, a single messaging client application can be used to
receive messages from fax, a bulletin board system, a
host-based messaging system and a LAN-based system.
Messages from all of these systems can be delivered to a
single "universal Inbox".
MAPI is aimed at the powerful, new market of workgroup
applications that communicate with such different messaging
systems as fax, DEC All-In-1, voice mail and public
communications services such as AT&T Easylink Services,
CompuServe and MCI MAIL. Because workgroup applications
demand more of their messaging systems, MAPI offers much more
than basic messaging in the programming interface and supports
more than local area network (LAN)-based messaging systems.
Applications can, for example, format text for a single
message with a variety of fonts and present to their users a
customised view of messages that have been filtered, sorted or
preprocessed.
MAPI is built into Windows 95 and Windows NT and can be
used by 16-bit and 32-bit Windows applications. The
programming interface and subsystem contained in the MAPI
DLL provide objects which conform to the {Component Object
Model}. MAPI includes standard messaging client applications
that demonstrate different levels of messaging support.
MAPI provides cross platform support through such industry
standards as SMTP, X.400 and Common Messaging Calls. MAPI
is the messaging component of {Windows Open Services
Architecture} (WOSA).
