/dongl disk/ , n. A special floppy disk that is required in order to perform
|
|
|
|
|
some task. Some contain special coding that allows an application to
|
|
|
|
|
identify it uniquely, others are special code that does something that
|
|
|
|
|
normally-resident programs don't or can't. (For example, AT T's Unix PC
|
|
|
|
|
would only come up in root mode with a special boot disk.) Also called a key
|
|
|
|
|
disk. See dongle.
