From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Steam engine \Steam" en"gine\       An engine moved by steam.          Note: In its most common forms its essential parts are a                piston, a cylinder, and a valve gear. The piston works                in the cylinder, to which steam is admitted by the                action of the valve gear, and communicates motion to                the machinery to be actuated. Steam engines are thus                classified: 1. According to the wat the steam is used                or applied, as condencing, noncondencing, compound,                double-acting, single-acting, triple-expansion, etc. 2.                According to the motion of the piston, as                reciprocating, rotary, etc. 3. According to the motion                imparted by the engine, as rotative and nonrotative. 4.                According to the arrangement of the engine, as                stationary, portable, and semiportable engines, beam                engine, oscillating engine, direct-acting and                back-acting engines, etc. 5. According to their uses,                as portable, marine, locomotive, pumping, blowing,                winding, and stationary engines. Locomotive and                portable engines are usually high-pressure,                noncondencing, rotative, and direct-acting. Marine                engines are high or low pressure, rotative, and                generally condencing, double-acting, and compound.                Paddle engines are generally beam, side[?]lever,                oscillating, or direct-acting. Screw engines are                generally direct-acting, back-acting, or oscillating.                Stationary engines belong to various classes, but are                generally rotative. A horizontal or inclined stationary                steam engine is called a left-hand or a right-hand                engine when the crank shaft and driving pulley are on                the left-hand side, or the right-hand side,                respectively, or the engine, to a person looking at                them from the cylinder, and is said to run forward or                backward when the crank traverses the upward half, or                lower half, respectively, of its path, while the piston                rod makes its stroke outward from the cylinder. A                marine engine, or the engine of a locomotive, is said                to run forward when its motion is such as would propel                the vessel or the locomotive forward.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
portability          The ease with which a piece of       software (or {file format}) can be "ported", i.e. made to run       on a new {platform} and/or compile with a new {compiler}.          The most important factor is the language in which the       software is written and the most portable language is almost       certainly {C} (though see {Vaxocentrism} for counterexamples).       This is true in the sense that C compilers are available for       most systems and are often the first compiler provided for a       new system.   This has led several compiler writers to compile       other languages to C code in order to benefit from its       portability (as well as the quality of compilers available for       it).          The least portable type of language is obviously {assembly       code} since it is specific to one particular (family of)       {processor}(s).   It may be possible to translate mechanically       from one assembly code (or even {machine code}) into another       but this is not really portability.   At the other end of the       scale would come {interpreted} or {semi-compiled} languages       such as {LISP} or {Java} which rely on the availability of a       portable {interpreter} or {virtual machine} written in a lower       level language (often C for the reasons outlined above).          The act or result of porting a program is called a "port".       E.g. "I've nearly finished the {Pentium} port of my big bang       simulation."          Portability is also an attribute of {file formats} and depends       on their adherence to {standards} (e.g. {ISO 8859}) or the       availability of the relevant "viewing" software for different       {platforms} (e.g. {PDF}).          (1997-06-18)

Portable Pixmap          (PPM) A colour {image} {file format}.          A PPM file contains the following:             a two character "{magic number}" - "P3",          the width in pixels,          the height in pixels,          the maximum colour component value,          HEIGHT rows of WIDTH {pixels}.          The rows are ordered from top to bottom with the pixels in       each row ordered from left to right.   Each pixel is       represented as three values for red, green, and blue.          All parts are separated by {whitespace} and numbers are in       decimal {ASCIII} representation.   A zero pixel component means       that colour is absent.   Characters from a "#" to the next       end-of-line are ignored and no line should be longer than 70       characters.          Here is an example of a small pixmap in this format:             P3          # feep.ppm          4 4          15          0   0   0      0   0   0      0   0   0   15   0 15          0   0   0      0 15   7      0   0   0      0   0   0          0   0   0      0   0   0      0 15   7      0   0   0          15   0 15      0   0   0      0   0   0      0   0   0          A "RAWBITS" variant has magic number "P6", pixel values are       stored as plain binary bytes, instead of ASCII decimal and no       whitespace is allowed after a single whitespace character       after the maximum colour component value which must be less       than or equal to 255.          (1998-02-06)
