            without any share of the surplus, and the survivor at the
            end of the tontine period received the entire surplus.
            This plan of tontine insurance has been replaced in the
            United States by the
  
      {semitontine} plan, in which the surplus is divided among the
            holders of policies in force at the termination of the
            tontine period, but the reverse for the paid-up value is
            paid on lapsed policies, and on the policies of those that
            have died the face is paid. Other modified forms are
            called {free tontine}, {deferred dividend}, etc.,
            according to the nature of the tontine arrangement.

   Sentiment \Sen"ti*ment\, n. [OE. sentement, OF. sentement, F.
      sentiment, fr. L. sentire to perceive by the senses and mind,
      to feel, to think. See {Sentient}, a.]
      1. A thought prompted by passion or feeling; a state of mind
            in view of some subject; feeling toward or respecting some
            person or thing; disposition prompting to action or
            expression.
  
                     The word sentiment, agreeably to the use made of it
                     by our best English writers, expresses, in my own
                     opinion very happily, those complex determinations
                     of the mind which result from the co[94]peration of
                     our rational powers and of our moral feelings.
                                                                              --Stewart.
  
                     Alike to council or the assembly came, With equal
                     souls and sentiments the same.            --Pope.
  
      2. Hence, generally, a decision of the mind formed by
            deliberation or reasoning; thought; opinion; notion;
            judgment; as, to express one's sentiments on a subject.
  
                     Sentiments of philosophers about the perception of
                     external objects.                              --Reid.
  
                     Sentiment, as here and elsewhere employed by Reid in
                     the meaning of opinion (sententia), is not to be
                     imitated.                                          --Sir W.
                                                                              Hamilton.
  
      3. A sentence, or passage, considered as the expression of a
            thought; a maxim; a saying; a toast.
  
      4. Sensibility; feeling; tender susceptibility.
  
                     Mr. Hume sometimes employs (after the manner of the
                     French metaphysicians) sentiment as synonymous with
                     feeling; a use of the word quite unprecedented in
                     our tongue.                                       --Stewart.
  
                     Less of sentiment than sense.            --Tennyson.
  
      Syn: Thought; opinion; notion; sensibility; feeling.
  
      Usage: {Sentiment}, {Opinion}, {Feeling}. An opinion is an
                  intellectual judgment in respect to any and every kind
                  of truth. Feeling describes those affections of
                  pleasure and pain which spring from the exercise of
                  our sentient and emotional powers. Sentiment
                  (particularly in the plural) lies between them,
                  denoting settled opinions or principles in regard to
                  subjects which interest the feelings strongly, and are
                  presented more or less constantly in practical life.
                  Hence, it is more appropriate to speak of our
                  religious sentiments than opinions, unless we mean to
                  exclude all reference to our feelings. The word
                  sentiment, in the singular, leans ordinarily more to
                  the side of feeling, and denotes a refined sensibility
                  on subjects affecting the heart. [bd]On questions of
                  feeling, taste, observation, or report, we define our
                  sentiments. On questions of science, argument, or
                  metaphysical abstraction, we define our opinions. The
                  sentiments of the heart. The opinions of the mind . .
                  . There is more of instinct in sentiment, and more of
                  definition in opinion. The admiration of a work of art
                  which results from first impressions is classed with
                  our sentiments; and, when we have accounted to
                  ourselves for the approbation, it is classed with our
                  opinions.[b8] --W. Taylor.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Sentimental \Sen`ti*men"tal\, a. [Cf. F. sentimental.]
      1. Having, expressing, or containing a sentiment or
            sentiments; abounding with moral reflections; containing a
            moral reflection; didactic. [Obsoles.]
  
                     Nay, ev'n each moral sentimental stroke, Where not
                     the character, but poet, spoke, He lopped, as
                     foreign to his chaste design, Nor spared a useless,
                     though a golden line.                        --Whitehead.
  
      2. Inclined to sentiment; having an excess of sentiment or
            sensibility; indulging the sensibilities for their own
            sake; artificially or affectedly tender; -- often in a
            reproachful sense.
  
                     A sentimental mind is rather prone to overwrought
                     feeling and exaggerated tenderness.   --Whately.
  
      3. Addressed or pleasing to the emotions only, usually to the
            weaker and the unregulated emotions.
  
      Syn: Romantic.
  
      Usage: {Sentimental}, {Romantic}. Sentimental usually
                  describes an error or excess of the sensibilities;
                  romantic, a vice of the imagination. The votary of the
                  former gives indulgence to his sensibilities for the
                  mere luxury of their excitement; the votary of the
                  latter allows his imagination to rove for the pleasure
                  of creating scenes of ideal enjoiment. [bd]Perhaps
                  there is no less danger in works called sentimental.
                  They attack the heart more successfully, because more
                  cautiously.[b8] --V. Knox. [bd]I can not but look on
                  an indifferency of mind, as to the good or evil things
                  of this life, as a mere romantic fancy of such who
                  would be thought to be much wiser than they ever were,
                  or could be.[b8] --Bp. Stillingfleet.

   semi-automated adj.   [US Geological Survey] A procedure that
   has yet to be completely automated; it still requires a smidge of
   clueful human interaction.   Semi-automated programs usually come
   with written-out operator instructions that are worth their weight
   in gold - without them, very nasty things can happen.   At USGS
   semi-automated programs are often referred to as "semi-automated
   weapons".

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   sendmail
  
      The {BSD} Unix {Message Transfer Agent} supporting
      mail transport via {TCP/IP} using {SMTP}.   Sendmail is
      normally invoked in the {background} via a {Mail User Agent}
      such as the {mail} command.
  
      Sendmail was written by {Eric Allman} at the {University of
      California at Berkeley} during the late 1970s.   He now has his
      own company, {Sendmail Inc.}
  
      Sendmail was one of the first programs to route messages
      between {networks} and today is still the dominant e-mail
      transfer software.   It thrived despite the awkward {ARPAnet}
      transition between {NCP} to TCP protocols in the early 1980s
      and the adoption of the new SMTP Simple Mail Transport
      Protocol, all of which made the business of mail routing a
      complex challenge of backward and forward compatibility for
      several years.   There are now over one million copies of
      Sendmail installed, representing over 75% of all Internet mail
      servers.
  
      Simultaneously with the announcement of the company in
      November 1997, Sendmail 8.9 was launched, featuring new tools
      designed to limit {junk e-mail}.   SendMail 8.9 is still
      distributed as {source code} with the rights to modify and
      distribute.
  
      Latest version: 8.9.1, as of 1998-08-25.
  
      The command
  
      sendmail -bv ADDRESS
  
      can be used to learn what the local mail system thinks of
      ADDRESS.   You can also talk to the Sendmail {daemon} on a
      remote host FOO with the command
  
      telnet FOO 25

   Sendmail Inc.
  
      The company, announced in November 1997 and launched
      in March 1998, created by {Eric Allman}, the original author
      of {Sendmail}.   Allman is Chief Technology Officer, {Greg
      Olson} is President and CEO.
  
      Sendmail Inc. will sell commercial upgrades, service and
      support to {Internet Service Providers} and corporations
      running critical {e-mail} applications, while still continuing
      {freeware} development.
  
      {Sun Microsystems} founders {Bill Joy} and Andy Bechtolscheim
      are among the investors in the company, along with Tim
      O'Reilly of publishers O'Reilly & Associates and John Funk of
      e-mail company {InfoBeat Inc.}.
  
      Allman said that he devoted the fist six months of the life of
      Sendmail Inc. to finalising the freeware release.   A
      commercial version was due in summer 1998, at around $1000 per
      server.   The company is expected to reach $40m annual sales
      within three years.   Funding is in the region of $1.25m.
