W2K. {Windows 2000} W3. A {World-Wide Web} {browser} for {Emacs} by William M. Perry . (1994-12-16) W3C. {World Wide Web Consortium} W3 Consortium. {World Wide Web Consortium} WA-12. Workflow Analysis in 12 different organisations. A project from the Department of Computer Science from the {University of Twente}, Enschede, The Netherlands. The final report of this project is available to the public (ISBN 90-365-0683-2). wabbit. /wab'it/ [almost certainly from Elmer Fudd's immortal line "You wascawwy wabbit!"] 1. A legendary early hack reported on a System/360 at RPI and elsewhere around 1978; this may have descended (if only by inspiration) from hack called RABBITS reported from 1969 on a Burroughs 55000 at the University of Washington Computer Center. The program would make two copies of itself every time it was run, eventually crashing the system. 2. By extension, any hack that includes infinite self-replication but is not a {virus} or {worm}. See {fork bomb} and {rabbit job}, see also {cookie monster}. [{Jargon File}] Wabi. {Windows Application Binary Interface} WabiServer. An addition to {Wabi} which allows the {Microsoft Windows} application to run on a {server}, e.g. a powerful {Intel}-based computer, with users accessing it from their desktop which can be a cheap computer such as an {X terminal}. (1997-01-08) wacco. A {BNF}-based LL(?) {parser generator}. Posted to comp.sources.misc. Wafe. (From Widget Athena front end) A package by Gustaf Neumann implementing a symbolic interface to the {Athena} {widgets} and {OSF}/{Motif}. A typical Wafe {application} consists of two parts: a front-end (Wafe) and an application program which runs as a separate process. The distribution contains sample application programs in {Perl}, {GAWK}, {Prolog}, {TCL}, {C}, and {Ada} talking to the same Wafe binary. The current Wafe version is 1.0.15. It supports Athena as distributed with {X} releases 4-6 and Motif versions 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0 but new distribution are only tested against {X} releases 5 and 6, and Motif versions 1.2.4 and 2.0. {HOME (http://www.wu-wien.ac.at/wafe)}, {(ftp://ftp.wu-wien.ac.at/pub/src/X11/wafe/)}.
