1. The act of specifying or determining by a mark or limit;

the specification of a charge against an officer.
[1913 Webster]
3. A written statement containing a minute description or
enumeration of particulars, as of charges against a public

or particular, an allegation of a specific act, as in a
charge of official misconduct.

4. A detailed listing or description of the required
properties of some object proposed to be built or bought;

SPECIFICATION
(bouvier) | SPECIFICATION, civil law. A term used in the civil law, by which is meant a
person's making a new species or subject from materials belonging to
another. Bouv. Inst. Theolo. ps. 1, c. 1, art. 1, Sec. 4, Is. 4, p. 74.
2. When the new species can be again reduced to the matter of which it
was made, the law considers the former mass as still existing, and,
therefore, the new species as an accessory to the former subject; but where
the thing made cannot be so reduced, as in the case of wine, which cannot be
again turned into grapes, there is no place for the fictio juris; and,
there, the workmanship draws after it the property of the material. Inst. 2,
1, 25 Dig. 41, 1, 7, 7. See Accession; Confusion; Mixtion; and Aso & Man.
Inst. B. 2, t. 2, c. 8.

SPECIFICATION
(bouvier) | SPECIFICATION, practice, contracts. A particular and detailed account of a
thing: example, in order to obtain a patent for an invention, it is
necessary to file a specification or an instrument of writing, which must
lay open and disclose to the public every part of the process by which the
invention can be made useful if the specification does not contain the whole
truth relative to the discovery, or contains more than is requisite to
produce the desired effect, and the concealment or addition was made for the
purpose of deception, the patent would be void; for if the specification
were insufficient on account of its want of clearness, exactitude or good
faith, it would be a fraud on society that the patentee should obtain a
monopoly without giving up his invention. 2 Kent, Com. 300; 1 Bell's Com.
part 2, c. 3, s. 1, p. 112; Perpigna on Pat. 67; Renouard, Des Brevets
d'Inv. 252.
2. In charges against persons accused of military offences, they must
be particularly described and clearly expressed; this is called the
specification. Tytl. on Courts Mart. 109.

expanded memory specification
(foldoc) | Expanded Memory Specification
EMS
LIM EMS
(EMS) An IBM PC memory paging scheme enabling
access to memory other than conventional memory in {real
mode}.
Expanded memory is provided through a page frame of at
least 64 kilobytes in the reserved memory address region.
Access to this memory is provided by an {expanded memory
manager} (EMM) software. The EMM functions are accessible
through interrupt 67H.
In 8086 or 8088 based systems this is the only way to use
memory beyond conventional memory. In systems based on
80286 or later, XMS and HMA provide alternative methods.
EMS was developed jointly by Lotus, Intel, and Microsoft
prior to 1988. Accordingly, this specification is sometimes
referred to as LIM EMS.
A complete discussion of EMS and programming examples can be
found in ["PC System Programming for developers", 1989, ISBN
1-55755-035-2 (Book only) and ISBN 1-55755-036-0 (Book and
diskette)].
EEMS, a competing expanded memory management standard, was
developed by AST Research, Quadram and Ashton-Tate.

HMSL

some to expand "HMSL" as "Her Majesty's Secret Language".)

NDIS
(NDIS) A {Microsoft Windows
device driver} programming interface allowing multiple
protocols to share the same network hardware.
E.g. TCP/IP and IPX on the same NIC. NDIS can also be
used by some ISDN adapters.
A protocol manager accepts requests from the transport layer
and passes them to the data link layer (routed to the
correct network interface if there is more than one).
NDIS was developed by Microsoft and 3COM. Novell offers
a similar device driver for NetWare called Open Data-Link
Interface (ODI).
The NDIS 2.0 specification was 5000 lines.
