Machine Language
See Bianary

Mark-up Language
A simpler Programming language.  Used to make websites

Programming Language
A compromise between Bianary language and normal human language

Debugger
A program that finds bugs in a program as it is being compiled and points them out to the user

Compliler
A program that converts a Programming language into Machine language so that it can be run

Run
starting a program

executable (.exe)
a file that, when opened, runs a program

make file (.mak)
a file that is used by a compiler to combine the graphic and non-graphic parts of a Windows application.  This is the file that is sent to the compiler.  Make sure the other parts you mention in the make file are in the same folder

Borland C++ Builder

Class
This is a "codeword" used by a Programming language.  This word has significant meaning and can't be used as the name of a variable.  A Class will preform an action within the program

Arguement
This is a factor that affects a class.  A Class can have several arguements.  In C++, the arguments are listed after a Class between parenthesis, separated by comas.

E.G.  for (i=0,i<5,i++)


Algorithm
A mathematical sentence within a program.  The exact definition varies, but here an algorith will be all the code associated with a specific component and function of that component

Component
part of the total program.  C++ Builder 5 gives us the ability to see these parts so that we can easily create and organize them.

Photoshop (TM)
picture editing software.  From Adobe

Borland Resource Workshop
This program transforms from normal images to Resource files (.rc or .res)  This makes them easily accessable yet sepparate from the Executable, making the program smaller and faster

Bitmap (.bmp)
This is an image file that can be accessed from a Windows program without the aid of additional programming

Object Inspector
sub-window inside Borland C++ Builder.  Enables you to see all the different variable for a selected component
