tron v. [NRL, CMU; prob. fr. the movie "Tron"] To become inaccessible except via email or `talk(1)', especially when one is normally available via telephone or in person. Frequently used in the past tense, as in: "Ran seems to have tronned on us this week" or "Gee, Ran, glad you were able to un-tron yourself". One may also speak of `tron mode'; compare {spod}. Note that many dialects of BASIC have a TRON/TROFF command pair that enables/disables line number tracing; this has no obvious relationship to the slang usage. | |

TRON 1. 2. {command} used when {debugging} {programs} written in early {line-numbered} {BASIC} that contained {GOTO} and {GOSUB} statements. When the TRON command had been {executed}, the program ran with a {window} open indicating the line number being executed at that instant. The {TROFF} (an abbreviation for "TRace OFF") command turned the {tracing} off. (2003-02-02) | |
