plug-in
A file containing data used to alter, enhance, or extend the operation of a parent application program. One of the first uses of this term was in Silicon Beach' s SuperPaint application (late 1980s?) for the Macintosh. It had a Plug-ins folder containing different tools and effects. The Netscape Navigator World-Wide Web browser supports plug-ins which display or interpret a particular file format or protocol such as Shockwave, RealAudio, {Adobe Systems, Inc.} {PDF}, {Corel CMX} ({vector graphics}). The file to be displayed is included in a web page using an EMBED HTML tag. Plug-ins, both commercially and indepently authored, can usually be downloaded for free and are stored locally. Plug-ins come in different versions specific to particular operating systems (Microsoft Windows 3.1, 3.2, and Macintosh are available). Compare applet.
