The ninth column of the divider line preceding an entry usually contains a classification code (the entry has not been classified if that character is a dash). The codes currently in use are: A - applications, a - access software (screen readers, etc), B - BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly., b - vendor-specific BIOS(Basic Input/Output System) A set of standardized calls giving low-level access to the hardware. The BIOS is the lowest software layer above the actual hardware and serves to insulate programs (and operating systems) which use it from the details of accessing the hardware directly. extensions, C - CPU-generated, c - caches/spoolers, D - DOS kernel, d - disk I/O enhancements, E - DOS extenders, e - electronic mail, F - FAX, f - file manipulation, G - debuggers/debugging tools, g - games, H - hardware, h - vendor-specific hardware, I - IBMInternational Busiuness MachinesInternational Busiuness Machines) A hardware, software and other service technology company founded in 1911. workstation/terminal emulators, i - system info/monitoring, J - Japanese, j - joke programs, K - keyboard enhancers, k - file/disk compression, l - shells/command interpreters, M - mouse/pointing device, m - memory management, N - network, n - non-traditional input devices, O - other operating systems, P - printer enhancements, p - power management, Q - DESQview/TopViewTopView, DESQview, TaskView, OmniView, other compatibles and Quarterdeck programs, R - remote control/file access, r - runtime support, S - serial I/O, s - sound/speech, T - DOS-based task switchers/multitaskers, t - TSR(Terminate and Stay Resident) A program which remains in memory after terminating in order to provide services to other programs or the user. The name comes from the name of the DOS function call used to remain in memory after termination. libraries U - resident utilities, u - emulators, V - video, v - virusA program which attaches itself to other programs for the purpose of duplicating itself. Viruses often (but not always) contain harmful code which is triggered by some event, after a certain number of reproductions, or on a specific date.
