Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].] 1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or] Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but has been introduced to some extent into some other countries. Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also by various other characteristic differences, as of taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and quality are dependent upon the treatment which the leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands upon a table, to free them from a portion of their moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in the air for some time after being gathered, and then tossed about with the hands until they become soft and flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until the leaves have become of the proper color. The principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial, and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou}, {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong}, and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson. Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached Europe till after the establishment of intercourse between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese, however, did little towards the introduction of the herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century, that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8] --Encyc. Brit. 2. A decoction or infusion of tea leaves in boiling water; as, tea is a common beverage. 3.

Similix An autoprojector (self-applicable partial evaluator) for a higher order subset of the strict functional language Scheme. Similix handles programs with user defined primitive abstract data type operators which may process global variables (such as input/output operators). Version 5.0.

Small Computer System Interface popular processor-independent standard, via a parallel bus, for system-level interfacing between a computer and intelligent devices including {hard disks}, {floppy disks}, {CD-ROM}, {printers}, {scanners}, and many more. SCSI can connect multiple devices to a single {SCSI adaptor} (or "host adaptor") on the computer's bus. SCSI transfers bits in parallel and can operate in either {asynchronous} or {synchronous} modes. The synchronous transfer rate is up to 5MB/s. There must be at least one {target} and one {initiator} on the SCSI {bus}. SCSI connections normally use "{single ended}" drivers as opposed to {differential drivers}. Single ended SCSI can suport up to six metres of cable. Differential ended SCSI can support up to 25 metres of cable. SCSI was developed by {Shugart Associates}, which later became {Seagate}. SCSI was originally called SASI for "Shugart Associates System Interface" before it became a standard. Due to SCSI's inherent protocol flexibility, large support infrastructure, continued speed increases and the acceptance of SCSI Expanders in applications it is expected to hold its market. The original standard is now called "SCSI-1" to distinguish it from {SCSI-2} and {SCSI-3} which include specifications of {Wide SCSI} (a 16-bit bus) and {Fast SCSI} (10 MB/s transfer). SCSI-1 has been standardised as {ANSI} X3.131-1986 and {ISO}/{IEC} 9316. A problem with SCSI is the large number of different connectors allowed. Nowadays the trend is toward a 68-pin {miniature D-type} or "high density" connector (HD68) for {Wide SCSI} and a 50-pin version of the same connector (HD50) for 8-bit SCSI (Type 1-4, pin pitch 1.27 mm x 2.45 mm). 50-pin {ribbon cable} connectors are also popular for internal wiring (Type 5, pin pitch 2.54 mm x 2.54 mm). {Apple Computer} used a 25-pin connector on the {Macintosh} computer but this connector causes problems with high-speed equipment. Original SCSI implementations were highly incompatible with each other. {ASPI} is a standard {Microsoft Windows} interface to SCSI devices. {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.periphs.scsi}. {(news:comp.periphs.scsi)}.

Small-C A subset of {C}. The original compiler, written in {C} by Ron Cain, appeared in Dr. Dobb's Journal. James E. Hendrix improved and extended the original compiler and published "The Small-C Handbook". Both these compilers produced {8080} {assembly code}. A Small-C compiler based on {RatC} produced {6502} {assembly code} for the {BBC Microcomputer}. It was written in Small-C and {bootstrap}ped using {Zorland C} on an {Amstrad PC1512} under {MS-DOS} 3.2, then transferred onto a {BBC Micro} using {Kermit}. The compiler can be used to cross-compile {6502} code from an {MS-DOS} host, or as a {resident} Small-C compiler on a BBC Micro. It runs on {68000}, {6809}, {VAX}, {8080}, {BBC Micro} and {Zilog Z80}. Posted to comp.sources.unix volume 5. {(ftp://apple.com/ArchiveVol1/Unix_lang)}.

sml2c A Standard ML to C compiler. sml2c is a batch compiler and compiles only module-level declarations, i.e. signatures, structures and functors. It provides the same pervasive environment for the compilation of these programs as SML/NJ. As a result, module-level programs that run on SML/NJ can be compiled by sml2c without any changes. Based on SML/NJ version 0.67 and shares front end and most of its run-time system, but does not support SML/NJ style debugging and profiling.
