   do with the time of day, although the software counter that keeps
   track of the latter may be derived from the former. 2. vt.   To run a

   clocks n.   Processor logic cycles, so called because each
   generally corresponds to one clock pulse in the processor's timing.
   The relative execution times of instructions on a machine are
   usually discussed in clocks rather than absolute fractions of a
   second; one good reason for this is that clock speeds for various
   models of the machine may increase as technology improves, and it is
   usually the relative times one is interested in when discussing the
   instruction set.   Compare {cycle}, {jiffy}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   class
  
      1. The prototype for an {object} in an
      {object-oriented language}; analogous to a {derived type} in a
      {procedural language}.   A class may also be considered to be a
      set of objects which share a common structure and behaviour.
      The structure of a class is determined by the {class
      variables} which represent the {state} of an object of that
      class and the behaviour is given by a set of {methods}
      associated with the class.
  
      Classes are related in a {class hierarchy}.   One class may be
      a specialisation (a "{subclass}") of another (one of its
      "{superclasses}") or it may be composed of other classes or it
      may use other classes in a {client-server} relationship.   A
      class may be an {abstract class} or a {concrete class}.
  
      See also {signature}.
  
      2. See {type class}.
  
      3. One of three types of {Internet addresses}
      distinguished by their most significant bits.
  
      3. A language developed by the {Andrew Project}.
      It was one of the first attempts to add {object-oriented}
      features to {C}.

   CLiCC
  
      A {Common Lisp} to {C} compiler by Heinz Knutzen
      , Ulrich Hoffman
      and Wolfgang Goerigk
      .   CLiCC is meant to be used as a
      supplement to existing {CLISP} systems for generating portable
      applications.   Target {C} code must be linked with CLiCC
      {run-time library} to produce an executable.
  
      Version 0.6.2 conforms to a subset of {Common Lisp} and {CLOS}
      called CL_0 or CommonLisp_0 and based on {CLtL1}.   It runs
      with {Lucid Lisp}, {AKCL} or {CLISP}.   Work on {CLtL2} and
      {ANSI-CL} conformance is in progress.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   click
  
      To press and release a {button} on a {mouse} or
      other {pointing device}.   This generates an {event}, also
      specifying the screen position, which is processed by the
      {window manager} or {application program}.   On a mouse with
      more than one button, the unqualified term usually implies
      pressing the left-most button (with the right index finger),
      other buttons would be qualified, e.g. "{right-click}".
      {Keyboard} modifiers may also be used, e.g. "shift-click",
      meaning to hold down the shift key on the keyboard while
      clicking the mouse button.
  
      If the mouse moves while the button is pressed then this is a
      {drag}.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   clique
  
      A {maximal} {totally connected} {subgraph}.
      Given a {graph} with {nodes} N, a clique C is a {subset} of N
      where every node in C is directly connected to every other
      node in C (i.e. C is totally connected), and C contains all
      such nodes (C is maximal).   In other words, a clique contains
      all, and only, those nodes which are directly connected to all
      other nodes in the clique.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   clock
  
      A processor's clock or one {cycle} thereof.   The relative
      execution times of instructions on a computer are usually
      measured by number of clock cycles rather than seconds.   One
      good reason for this is that {clock rate}s for various models
      of the computer may increase as technology improves, and it is
      usually the relative times one is interested in when
      discussing the {instruction set}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cauls
      In Isa. 3:18 this word (Heb. shebisim), in the marg. "networks,"
      denotes network caps to contain the hair, worn by females.
      Others explain it as meaning "wreaths worn round the forehead,
      reaching from one ear to the other."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cilicia
      a maritime province in the south-east of Asia Minor. Tarsus, the
      birth-place of Paul, was one of its chief towns, and the seat of
      a celebrated school of philosophy. Its luxurious climate
      attracted to it many Greek residents after its incorporation
      with the Macedonian empire. It was formed into a Roman province,
      B.C. 67. The Jews of Cilicia had a synagogue at Jerusalem (Acts
      6:9). Paul visited it soon after his conversion (Gal. 1:21; Acts
      9:30), and again, on his second missionary journey (15:41), "he
      went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches." It was
      famous for its goat's-hair cloth, called cilicium. Paul learned
      in his youth the trade of making tents of this cloth.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cloak
      an upper garment, "an exterior tunic, wide and long, reaching to
      the ankles, but without sleeves" (Isa. 59:17). The word so
      rendered is elsewhere rendered "robe" or "mantle." It was worn
      by the high priest under the ephod (Ex. 28:31), by kings and
      others of rank (1 Sam. 15:27; Job 1:20; 2:12), and by women (2
      Sam. 13:18).
     
         The word translated "cloke", i.e., outer garment, in Matt.
      5:40 is in its plural form used of garments in general (Matt.
      17:2; 26:65). The cloak mentioned here and in Luke 6:29 was the
      Greek himation, Latin pallium, and consisted of a large square
      piece of wollen cloth fastened round the shoulders, like the
      abba of the Arabs. This could be taken by a creditor (Ex.
      22:26,27), but the coat or tunic (Gr. chiton) mentioned in Matt.
      5:40 could not.
     
         The cloak which Paul "left at Troas" (2 Tim. 4:13) was the
      Roman paenula, a thick upper garment used chiefly in travelling
      as a protection from the weather. Some, however, have supposed
      that what Paul meant was a travelling-bag. In the Syriac version
      the word used means a bookcase. (See {Dress}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   College
      Heb. mishneh (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chr. 34:22), rendered in Revised
      Version "second quarter", the residence of the prophetess
      Huldah. The Authorized Version followed the Jewish commentators,
      who, following the Targum, gave the Hebrew word its
      post-Biblical sense, as if it meant a place of instruction. It
      properly means the "second," and may therefore denote the lower
      city (Acra), which was built after the portion of the city on
      Mount Zion, and was enclosed by a second wall.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Colossae
      or Colosse, a city of Phrygia, on the Lycus, which is a
      tributary of the Maeander. It was about 12 miles above Laodicea,
      and near the great road from Ephesus to the Euphrates, and was
      consequently of some mercantile importance. It does not appear
      that Paul had visited this city when he wrote his letter to the
      church there (Col. 1:2). He expresses in his letter to Philemon
      (ver. 1:22) his hope to visit it on being delivered from his
      imprisonment. From Col. 1:7; 4:12 it has been concluded that
      Epaphras was the founder of the Colossian church. This town
      afterwards fell into decay, and the modern town of Chonas or
      Chonum occupies a site near its ruins.
