      1. (Anat.) A hollow, muscular organ, which, by contracting
            rhythmically, keeps up the circulation of the blood.
  
                     Why does my blood thus muster to my heart! --Shak.
  
      Note: In adult mammals and birds, the heart is
               four-chambered, the right auricle and ventricle being
               completely separated from the left auricle and
               ventricle; and the blood flows from the systematic
               veins to the right auricle, thence to the right
               ventricle, from which it is forced to the lungs, then
               returned to the left auricle, thence passes to the left
               ventricle, from which it is driven into the systematic
               arteries. See Illust. under {Aorta}. In fishes there
               are but one auricle and one ventricle, the blood being
               pumped from the ventricle through the gills to the
               system, and thence returned to the auricle. In most
               amphibians and reptiles, the separation of the auricles
               is partial or complete, and in reptiles the ventricles
               also are separated more or less completely. The
               so-called lymph hearts, found in many amphibians,
               reptiles, and birds, are contractile sacs, which pump
               the lymph into the veins.

            individual disposition and character; as, a good, tender,

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   hard link
  
      One of several directory entries which refer to
      the same {Unix} {file}.   A hard link is created with the "ln"
      (link) command:
  
      ln
  
      where and are {pathnames} within the
      same {file system}.   Hard links to the same file are
      indistinguishable from each other except that they have
      different pathnames.   They all refer to the same {inode} and
      the inode contains all the information about a file.
  
      The standard ln command does not usually allow you to create a
      hard link to a directory, chiefly because the standard {rm}
      and {rmdir} commands do not allow you to delete such a link.
      Some systems provide link and {unlink} commands which give
      direct access to the {system calls} of the same name, for
      which no such restrictions apply.
  
      Normally all hard links to a file must be in the same {file
      system} because a directory entry just relates a pathname to
      an inode within the same file system.   The only exception is a
      {mount point}.
  
      The restrictions on hard links to directories and between
      file systems are very common but are not mandated by {POSIX}.
      {Symbolic links} are often used instead of hard links because
      they do not suffer from these restrictions.
  
      The space associated with a file is not freed until all the
      hard links to the file are deleted.   This explains why the
      system call to delete a file is called "unlink".
