Cf. {Saponaceous}.] A substance which dissolves in water, thus forming a lather, and is used as a cleansing agent.

See the Note below, and cf. {Saponification}. By extension, any compound of similar composition or properties, whether used as a cleaning agent or not. Note: In general, soaps are of two classes, hard and soft. Calcium, magnesium, lead, etc., form soaps, but they are insoluble and useless. The purifying action of soap depends upon the fact that it is decomposed by a large quantity of water into free alkali and an insoluble acid salt. The first of these takes away the fatty dirt on washing, and the latter forms the soap lather which envelops the greasy matter and thus tends to remove it. --Roscoe & Schorlemmer. {Castile soap}, a fine-grained hard soap, white or mottled, made of olive oil and soda; -- called also {Marseilles, [or] Venetian, soap}. {Hard soap}, any one of a great variety of soaps, of different ingredients and color, which are hard and compact.

It is called also {soap apple}, {soap bulb}, and {soap weed}. {Soap tree}. (Bot.) Same as {Soapberry tree}. {Soda soap}, a soap containing a sodium salt. The soda soaps are all hard soaps. {Soft soap}, a soap of a gray or brownish yellow color, and of a slimy, jellylike consistence, made from potash or the lye from wood ashes.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
spool file n. Any file to which data is {spool}ed to await the next stage of processing. Especially used in circumstances where spooling the data copes with a mismatch between speeds in two devices or pieces of software. For example, when you send mail under Unix, it's typically copied to a spool file to await a transport {demon}'s attentions. This is borderline techspeak.

By treaty (9 February 1920), the nationals of the treaty powers have equal rights to exploit mineral deposits, subject to Norwegian regulation. Although US, UK, Dutch, and Swedish coal companies have mined in the past, the only companies still mining are Norwegian and Russian. The settlements on Svalbard are essentially company towns. The Norwegian state-owned coal company employs nearly 60% of the Norwegian population on the island, runs many of the local services, and provides most of the local infrastructure. There is also some trapping of seal, polar bear, fox, and walrus. Budget: revenues: $13.3 million expenditures: $13.3 million, including capital expenditures of $NA (1990 est.)
