Nautilus \Nau"ti*lus\, n.; pl.

See {Nave} of a church.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) The only existing genus of tetrabranchiate             cephalopods. About four species are found living in the             tropical Pacific, but many other species are found fossil.             The shell is spiral, symmetrical, and chambered, or             divided into several cavities by simple curved partitions,             which are traversed and connected together by a continuous             and nearly central tube or siphuncle. See             {Tetrabranchiata}.          Note: The head of the animal bears numerous simple tapered                arms, or tentacles, arranged in groups, but not                furnished with suckers. The siphon, unlike, that of                ordinary cephalopods, is not a closed tube, and is not                used as a locomotive organ, but merely serves to                conduct water to and from the gill cavity, which                contains two pairs of gills. The animal occupies only                the outer chamber of the shell; the others are filled                with gas. It creeps over the bottom of the sea, not                coming to the surface to swim or sail, as was formerly                imagined.          2. The argonaut; -- also called {paper nautilus}.

ntalk          ("new talk") An update of the {Unix} "{talk}" program,       old versions of "talk" being referred to as "old talk".   New       talk and old talk are generally incompatible, and attempts to       get them to communicate result in entirely unhelpful error       messages.          On most modern {Unix} systems, the program "talk" is new talk,       with some {SunOS} versions being a notable and annoying       exception to this.          (1997-09-11)
