(Law) Pertaining to things fixed, permanent, or immovable, as to lands and tenements; as, real property, in distinction from personal or movable property. {Chattels real} (Law), such chattels as are annexed to, or savor of, the realty, as terms for years of land.

Syn: Actual; true; genuine; authentic. Usage: {Real}, {Actual}. Real represents a thing to be a substantive existence; as, a real, not imaginary, occurrence. Actual refers to it as acted or performed; and, hence, when we wish to prove a thing real, we often say, [bd]It actually exists,[b8] [bd]It has actually been done.[b8] Thus its really is shown by its actually. Actual, from this reference to being acted, has recently received a new signification, namely, present; as, the actual posture of affairs; since what is now in action, or going on, has, of course, a present existence. An actual fact; a real sentiment. For he that but conceives a crime in thought, Contracts the danger of an actual fault. --Dryden. Our simple ideas are all real; all agree to the reality of things. --Locke. | |

codewalker n. A program component that traverses other programs for a living. Compilers have codewalkers in their front ends; so do cross-reference generators and some database front ends. Other utility programs that try to do too much with source code may turn into codewalkers. As in "This new `vgrind' feature would require a codewalker to implement." | |

Chadless keypunch {punched cards}, rather than punching out a circle or rectangle. The U's made a hole when folded back. One of the {Jargon File}'s correspondents believed that the term "chad" derived from the {Chadless keypunch}. Obviously, if the Chadless keypunch didn't make them, then the stuff that other keypunches made had to be "{chad}". The assertion that the keypunch was named after its inventor is not supported by any record in US or UK patents or surname references. (2000-11-22) | |
