text n. 1. [techspeak] Executable code, esp. a `pure
code' portion shared between multiple instances of a program
running in a multitasking OS. Compare {English}. 2. Textual
material in the mainstream sense; data in ordinary {{ASCII}} or
{{EBCDIC}} representation (see {flat-ASCII}). "Those are
text files; you can review them using the editor." These two
contradictory senses confuse hackers, too.
