[fb]140. Cf. Zounds.]       1. A hurt or injury caused by violence; specifically, a             breach of the skin and flesh of an animal, or in the             substance of any creature or living thing; a cut, stab,             rent, or the like. --Chaucer.                         Showers of blood Rained from the wounds of                      slaughtered Englishmen.                     --Shak.          2.

(Criminal Law) An injury to the person by which the skin             is divided, or its continuity broken; a lesion of the             body, involving some solution of continuity.          Note: Walker condemns the pronunciation woond as a                [bd]capricious novelty.[b8] It is certainly opposed to                an important principle of our language, namely, that                the Old English long sound written ou, and pronounced                like French ou or modern English oo, has regularly                changed, when accented, into the diphthongal sound                usually written with the same letters ou in modern                English, as in ground, hound, round, sound. The use of                ou in Old English to represent the sound of modern                English oo was borrowed from the French, and replaced                the older and Anglo-Saxon spelling with u. It makes no                difference whether the word was taken from the French                or not, provided it is old enough in English to have                suffered this change to what is now the common sound of                ou; but words taken from the French at a later time, or                influenced by French, may have the French sound.          {Wound gall} (Zo[94]l.), an elongated swollen or tuberous             gall on the branches of the grapevine, caused by a small             reddish brown weevil ({Ampeloglypter sesostris}) whose             larv[91] inhabit the galls.

Windows NT          (Windows New Technology, NT) {Microsoft}'s       32-bit {operating system} developed from what was originally       intended to be {OS/2} 3.0 before {Microsoft} and {IBM} ceased       joint development of OS/2.   NT was designed for high end       {workstations} (Windows NT 3.1), servers (Windows NT 3.1       Advanced Server), and corporate networks (NT 4.0 Enterprise       Server).   The first release was {Windows NT 3.1}.          Unlike {Windows 3.1}, which was a graphical environment that       ran on top of {MS-DOS}, Windows NT is a complete operating       system.   To the user it looks like Windows 3.1, but it has       true {multi-threading}, built in networking, security, and       {memory protection}.          It is based on a {microkernel}, with 32-bit addressing for up       to 4Gb of {RAM}, virtualised hardware access to fully protect       applications, installable file systems, such as {FAT}, {HPFS}       and {NTFS}, built-in networking, {multi-processor} support,       and {C2 security}.          NT is also designed to be hardware independent.   Once the       machine specific part - the {Hardware Abstraction Layer} (HAL)       - has been ported to a particular machine, the rest of the       operating system should theorertically compile without       alteration.   A version of NT for {DEC}'s {Alpha} machines was       planned (September 1993).          NT needs a fast {386} or equivalent, at least 12MB of {RAM}       (preferably 16MB) and at least 75MB of free disk space.          NT 4.0 was followed by {Windows 2000}.          {Usenet} newsgroups: {news:comp.os.ms-windows.nt.setup},       {news:comp.os.ms-windows.nt.misc}.          (2002-06-10)

Windows Open Service Architecture          (WOSA) One of the mainstays       of {Microsoft Windows}: the ethos of {abstraction} of core       {services}.          For each extension, Windows {Open} Services {Architecture}       defines an {API} and an {SPI}, as well as a universal       interface (usually placed in a single {DLL}) that both comply       to.          These then {transparent}ly let the {operating system} speak to       {device drivers}, {database managers}, and other {low level}       entities.          These extensions include, among others, {ODBC} (called the       "crowning jewel of WOSA"), {TAPI}, {WOSA/XFS}, {SAPI} and       {MAPI}, and their supporting services, as well as the       abstraction of access to {printers}, {modems}, and {networking       services}, which run identically over {TCP/IP}, {IPX/SPX}, and       {NetBEUI}.          (2000-08-16)

Windows sockets          (Winsock) A specification for       {Microsoft Windows} network software, describing how       applications can access network services, especially {TCP/IP}.       Winsock is intended to provide a single {API} to which       application developers should program and to which multiple       network software vendors should conform.   For any particular       version of {Microsoft Windows}, it defines a binary interface       ({ABI}) such that an application written to the Windows       Sockets API can work with a conformant {protocol}       implementation from any network software vendor.          Winsock was conceived at Fall Interop '91 during a {Birds of a       Feather} session.          Windows Sockets is supported by {Microsoft Windows}, {Windows       for Workgroups}, {Win32s}, {Windows 95} and {Windows NT}.   It       will support protocols other than {TCP/IP}.   Under {Windows       NT}, {Microsoft} will provide Windows Sockets support over       {TCP/IP} and {IPX}/{SPX}.   {DEC} will be implementing       {DECNet}.   {Windows NT} will include mechanisms for multiple       {protocol} support in Windows Sockets, both 32-bit and 16 bit.          Mark Towfiq said, "The next rev. of Winsock will not be until       toward the end of 1993.   We need 1.1 of the {API} to become       firmly settled and implemented first."          {Windows Sockets API       (ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/micro/pc-stuff/ms-windows/winsock)}.       or {(ftp://microdyne.com/pub/winsock)} or send a message       "help" to either or       .          {Windows Sockets specification (ftp://rhino.microsoft.com)}.          Currently NetManage (NEWT), Distinct, FTP and Frontier are       shipping Winsock {TCP/IP} stacks, as is {Microsoft} (Windows       NT and {TCP/IP} for WFW), Beame & Whiteside Software (v1.1       compliant), and Sun PC-NFS.   Windows 95 has "dial-up       networking" which supports Winsock and TCP/IP.          winsock.dll is available from some {TCP/IP} stack vendors.       {Novell} has one in beta for their {Lan Workplace} for {DOS}.          Peter Tattam is       alpha-testing a shareware Windows Sockets compliant {TCP/IP}       stack {(ftp://ftp.utas.edu.au/pc/trumpet/winsock/winsock.zip)}.       and {(ftp://ftp.utas.edu.au/pc/trumpet/winsock/winpkt.com)}.          {The Consummate Winsock App List       (http://wwwvms.utexas.edu/~Neuroses/cwsapps.html)}.          [Adapted from: Aboba, Bernard D., comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc       Frequently Asked Questions, 1993 {Usenet}: {news:news.answers},       {(ftp://netcom1.netcom.com/pub/mailcom/IBMTCP/)}].          [Current status?]          (1996-06-20)

Windoze          {Microsloth Windows}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Winds       blowing from the four quarters of heaven (Jer. 49:36; Ezek.       37:9; Dan. 8:8; Zech. 2:6). The east wind was parching (Ezek.       17:10; 19:12), and is sometimes mentioned as simply denoting a       strong wind (Job 27:21; Isa. 27:8). This wind prevails in       Palestine from February to June, as the west wind (Luke 12:54)       does from November to February. The south was a hot wind (Job       37:17; Luke 12:55). It swept over the Arabian peninsula. The       rush of invaders is figuratively spoken of as a whirlwind (Isa.       21:1); a commotion among the nations of the world as a striving       of the four winds (Dan. 7:2). The winds are subject to the       divine power (Ps. 18:10; 135:7).
