Tea \Tea\, n. [Chin. tsh[be], Prov. Chin. te: cf. F. th[82].]       1. The prepared leaves of a shrub, or small tree ({Thea, [or]             Camellia, Chinensis}). The shrub is a native of China, but             has been introduced to some extent into some other             countries.          Note: Teas are classed as green or black, according to their                color or appearance, the kinds being distinguished also                by various other characteristic differences, as of                taste, odor, and the like. The color, flavor, and                quality are dependent upon the treatment which the                leaves receive after being gathered. The leaves for                green tea are heated, or roasted slightly, in shallow                pans over a wood fire, almost immediately after being                gathered, after which they are rolled with the hands                upon a table, to free them from a portion of their                moisture, and to twist them, and are then quickly                dried. Those intended for black tea are spread out in                the air for some time after being gathered, and then                tossed about with the hands until they become soft and                flaccid, when they are roasted for a few minutes, and                rolled, and having then been exposed to the air for a                few hours in a soft and moist state, are finally dried                slowly over a charcoal fire. The operation of roasting                and rolling is sometimes repeated several times, until                the leaves have become of the proper color. The                principal sorts of green tea are Twankay, the poorest                kind; Hyson skin, the refuse of Hyson; Hyson, Imperial,                and Gunpowder, fine varieties; and Young Hyson, a                choice kind made from young leaves gathered early in                the spring. Those of black tea are Bohea, the poorest                kind; Congou; Oolong; Souchong, one of the finest                varieties; and Pekoe, a fine-flavored kind, made                chiefly from young spring buds. See {Bohea}, {Congou},                {Gunpowder tea}, under {Gunpowder}, {Hyson}, {Oolong},                and {Souchong}. --K. Johnson. Tomlinson.          Note: [bd]No knowledge of . . . [tea] appears to have reached                Europe till after the establishment of intercourse                between Portugal and China in 1517. The Portuguese,                however, did little towards the introduction of the                herb into Europe, and it was not till the Dutch                established themselves at Bantam early in 17th century,                that these adventurers learned from the Chinese the                habit of tea drinking, and brought it to Europe.[b8]                --Encyc.

sgmls          Sgmls is an {SGML} {parser} derived from the       {ARCSGML} parser materials which were written by Charles       Goldfarb.   It outputs a simple, easily parsed, line oriented,       {ASCII} representation of an SGML document's Element Structure       Information Set (see pp 588-593 of "The SGML Handbook").   It       is intended to be used as the front end for       structure-controlled SGML {application program}s.          Version 1.1 for {Unix} and {MS-DOS} by James J.

Small Computer System Interface          (SCSI) /skuh'zee/, /sek'si/ The most       popular processor-independent standard, via a parallel bus,       for system-level interfacing between a computer and intelligent       devices including {hard disks}, {floppy disks}, {CD-ROM},       {printers}, {scanners}, and many more.          SCSI can connect multiple devices to a single {SCSI adaptor}       (or "host adaptor") on the computer's bus. SCSI transfers bits       in parallel and can operate in either {asynchronous} or       {synchronous} modes.   The synchronous transfer rate is up       to 5MB/s.   There must be at least one {target} and one {initiator}       on the SCSI {bus}.          SCSI connections normally use "{single ended}" drivers as       opposed to {differential drivers}.   Single ended SCSI can       suport up to six metres of cable.   Differential ended SCSI       can support up to 25 metres of cable.          SCSI was developed by {Shugart Associates}, which later became       {Seagate}.   SCSI was originally called SASI for "Shugart       Associates System Interface" before it became a standard.          Due to SCSI's inherent protocol flexibility, large support       infrastructure, continued speed increases and the acceptance       of SCSI Expanders in applications it is expected to hold its market.          The original standard is now called "SCSI-1" to distinguish it       from {SCSI-2} and {SCSI-3} which include specifications of       {Wide SCSI} (a 16-bit bus) and {Fast SCSI} (10 MB/s transfer).          SCSI-1 has been standardised as {ANSI} X3.131-1986 and       {ISO}/{IEC} 9316.          A problem with SCSI is the large number of different       connectors allowed.   Nowadays the trend is toward a 68-pin       {miniature D-type} or "high density" connector (HD68) for       {Wide SCSI} and a 50-pin version of the same connector (HD50)       for 8-bit SCSI (Type 1-4, pin pitch 1.27 mm x 2.45 mm).       50-pin {ribbon cable} connectors are also popular for internal       wiring (Type 5, pin pitch 2.54 mm x 2.54 mm).   {Apple       Computer} used a 25-pin connector on the {Macintosh} computer       but this connector causes problems with high-speed equipment.       Original SCSI implementations were highly incompatible with       each other.          {ASPI} is a standard {Microsoft Windows} interface to SCSI       devices.          {Usenet} newsgroup: {news:comp.periphs.scsi}.          {(news:comp.periphs.scsi)}.       SCSI Trade Association & FAQ {(http://www.scsita.org/)}.          ["System" or "Systems"?]          (1999-03-30)

Small-C          A subset of {C}.   The original compiler, written in {C} by Ron       Cain, appeared in Dr. Dobb's Journal.   James E. Hendrix       improved and extended the original compiler and published "The       Small-C Handbook".   Both these compilers produced {8080}       {assembly code}.          A Small-C compiler based on {RatC} produced {6502} {assembly       code} for the {BBC Microcomputer}.   It was written in Small-C       and {bootstrap}ped using {Zorland C} on an {Amstrad PC1512}       under {MS-DOS} 3.2, then transferred onto a {BBC Micro} using       {Kermit}.   The compiler can be used to cross-compile {6502}       code from an {MS-DOS} host, or as a {resident} Small-C       compiler on a BBC Micro.   It runs on {68000}, {6809}, {VAX},       {8080}, {BBC Micro} and {Zilog Z80}.          Posted to comp.sources.unix volume 5.          {(ftp://apple.com/ArchiveVol1/Unix_lang)}.          ["Small-C"?, Ron Cain, Dr. Dobb's Journal, May 1980, Dec       1982?]          ["The Small-C Handbook," James Hendrix, Reston 1984, ISBN       0-8359-7012-4].          (1989-01-05)
