    Autobin     : A protocole for transfer of binary files via radio-ports.
                  Supported by several terminal-programs.

    DLL         : DLL is Dynamic Link Library. This is used in the windows
                  environment and allows a program to attach a library which
                  holds some code during the session or only during a phase of
                  a program (like filters in FBB). This allows a very fast and
                  efficient mechanism. Also DLL may be compact.

    DPMI        : Dos Protected Mode Interface.
                  It enables Ms-Dos based applications to access all the
                  extended memory installed in the PC maintaining system
                  protection.  DosFBB uses it, so it is not limited to the
                  memory below 1Mb and PG/SERVERS have more that 500Kb of
                  memory to run.

    GPF         : Windows error-message.  Means that the BBS has performed an
    	      action that has caused a General Protection Failure.

    VXD         : VXD is more complex. I don't know exactly but they are
                  something like drivers for Windows using 32 bit code.

    YAPP        : "Yet Another Packet Program".  Originally a program by WA7MBL
                  for simple transfer of binary files on packet radio.  The
                  protocol from his program is widely known as the YAPP-protocol.

    Xforward    : Another kind of compressed forward, implemented in FBB.
