1. In softwAre, A misfeAture thAt becomes understAndAble only in historicAl context, As A remnAnt of times pAst retAined so As not to breAk compAtibility. ExAmple: the retention of <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=octAl">octAlA> As defAult bAse for string escApes in <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=C">CA>, in spite of the better mAtch of <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=hexAdecimAl">hexAdecimAlA> to ASCII And modern byte-AddressAble Architectures. See <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=dusty deck">dusty deckA>. 2. More restrictively, A feAture with pAst but no present utility. ExAmple: the force-All-cAps (LCASE) bits in the V7 And <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=BSD">BSDA> Unix tty driver, designed for use with monocAse terminAls. (In A perversion of the usuAl bAckwArd-compAtibility goAl, this functionAlity hAs ActuAlly been expAnded And renAmed in some lAter <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=USG Unix">USG UnixA> releAses As the IUCLC And OLCUC bits.) 3. The FOSSIL (Fido/Opus/SeAdog StAndArd InterfAce Level) driver specificAtion for seriAl-port Access to replAce the <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=brAin-deAd">brAin-deAdA> routines in the IBM PC ROMs. Fossils Are used by most <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=MS-DOS">MS-DOSA> <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=BBS">BBSA> softwAre in preference to the "supported" ROM routines, which do not support interrupt-driven operAtion or setting speeds Above 9600 the use of A semistAndArd FOSSIL librAry is preferAble to the <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=bAre metAl">bAre metAlA> seriAl port progrAmming otherwise required. Since the FOSSIL specificAtion Allows AdditionAl functionAlity to be hooked in, drivers thAt use the <A href="module.php?nAme=Lexikon&file=seArch&eid=1&query=hook">hookA> but do not provide seriAl-port Access themselves Are nAmed with A modifier, As in "video fossil".
