Hardware and software were obvious, but I always thought that firmware was software in a PROM. I have however heard quite a few engineers/managers/head- hunters refer to it as any software, whether or not it was in RAM or ROM, that "runs the machine", whether it was a copier or a motor controller or a disk drive...whatever. -- Richard Sexton INTERNET: richard@gryphon.CTS.COM UUCP: {akgua, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, ihnp4, nosc}!crash!gryphon!richard
