In computing, .bak is a filename extension commonly used to signify a backup copy of a file. When a program is about to overwrite an existing file for example, when the user saves the document he or she is working on , the program may first make a copy of the existing file, with tt .bak tt appended to the filename. This common tt .bak tt naming scheme makes it possible to retrieve the original contents of the file. In a similar manner, a user may also manually make a copy of the file before the change and append tt .bak tt to the filename. Other naming schemes are also in widespread use tt file tt , tt file.orig tt , tt file.old tt , and so on. Database Applications like FoxPro 2 FoxPro and SQL Server use .bak files to back up their databases. Citation needed date October 2009 Many applications, like XML shell , create .bak files in their auto save Autosave process.

FlagShip is available for and is cross computer compatibility compatible to different computer platforms, such as Linux , Unix and Microsoft Windows . As a true compiler , it translates the very popular database 4GL xBase source code to native 32 bit or 64 bit executables , using the same source code and databases . Recent history The first FlagShip version was introduced by multisoft Datentechnik GmbH in 1992 to port Clipper programming language Clipper , dBASE III , FoxBase and FoxPro 2 FoxPro applications to different operating systems , i.e. SCO Unix , IBM AIX , Sun Solaris , HP UX , Siemens SINIX and many other Unix systems. In 1995 also Linux ports became available. In 2002, Visual FlagShip abbreviated as VFS was announced for Linux , and in 2004 additionally for 32 64 bit based Microsoft Windows operating systems. The current VFS product line covers all common 32 bit and 64 bit operating systems Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2008 .

Wiktionary Hypermedia is a computer based information retrieval system that enables a user to gain or provide access to texts, audio and video recordings, photographs and computer graphics related to a particular subject. Hypermedia is a term created by Ted Nelson . Hypermedia is used as a logical extension of the term hypertext in which graphics, audio, video, plain text and hyperlink s intertwine to create a generally non linear medium of information. This contrasts with the broader term multimedia , which may be used to describe non interactive linear presentations as well as hypermedia. It is also related to the field of Electronic literature . The term was first used in a 1965 article by Ted Nelson . ref http portal.acm.org citation.cfm?id 806036 Complex information processing a file structure for the complex, the changing and the indeterminate ref The World Wide Web is a classic example of hypermedia, whereas a non interactive Movie theater cinema presentation is an example of standard multimedia due to the absence of hyperlinks. Hypermedia development tools Hypermedia may be developed a number of ways. Any programming tool can be used to write programs that link data from internal variables and Node computer science nodes for external data files. Multimedia development software such as Adobe Flash , Adobe Director , Macromedia Authorware , and MatchWare Mediator may be used to create stand alone hypermedia applications, with emphasis on entertainment content. Some database software such as FoxPro Visual FoxPro and FileMaker FileMaker Developer may be used to develop stand alone hypermedia applications, with emphasis on educational and business content management. Hypermedia applications may be developed on embedded devices for the mobile and the Digital signage industries using the Scalable Vector Graphics SVG specification from W3C World Wide Web Consortium . Software applications such as Ikivo Animator and Inkscape simplify the development of Hypermedia con ... more details
Quadray coordinates , also known as tetray coordinates or Chakovian coordinates , were developed by David Chako, Tom Ace, Kirby Urner, Darrel Jarmusch et al., as another take on simplicial coordinates, a coordinate system using the simplex or tetrahedron as its basis polyhedron. ref Urner, Kirby. Teaching Object Oriented Programming with Visual FoxPro. FoxPro Advisor Advisor Media, March, 1999 , page 48 ff. ref Geometric definition The four basis vectors stem from the origin of the regular tetrahedron and go to its four corners. Their coordinate addresses are 1, 0, 0, 0 , 0, 1, 0, 0 , 0, 0, 1, 0 and 0, 0, 0, 1 respectively. These may be scaled and linearly combined to span conventional XYZ space, with at least one of the four coordinates unneeded set to zero in any given quadrant. The normalization scheme is somewhat unusual in keeping all coordinates non negative. Typical of coordinate systems of this type a, a, a, a is an identity vector and may be added to normalize a result. To negate 1,0,0,0 , write &minus 1, 0, 0, 0 then add 1, 1, 1, 1 to get 0, 1, 1, 1 . Image Quadray.gif Four basis quadrays to the corners of a regular tetrahedron Pedagogical significance A typical application might set the edges of the basis tetrahedron as unit, with the quadrays considered unit on some other scale. The tetrahedron itself may also be defined as the unit of volume, although the infrastructure does not demand using this setting. The four quadrays may be linearly combined to provide integer coordinates for the inverse tetrahedron 0,1,1,1 , 1,0,1,1 , 1,1,0,1 , 1,1,1,0 , and for the cube, octahedron, rhombic dodecahedron and cuboctahedron of volumes 3, 4, 6 and 20 respectively, given the starting tetrahedron of unit volume. For example, given A, B, C, D as 1,0,0,0 , 0,1,0,0 , 0,0,1,0 and 0,0,0,1 respectively, the vertices of an octahedron with the same edge length and vol ... more details
