Terms may frequently change during the design process, the following table when uploaded to http://midwatch.org/glossary.html shall be considered authoritative. Be sure to check this webpage.
| Version 0.1.xx | The current, working MidWatch written in VB |
| Version 0.5.xx | The future VC++ MidWatch not yet written |
| Kit | A single installation package. A group of files used to install software on a computer. In the NT world, typified by a setup.exe and associated files. |
| PDR - Product Definition Record | The PDR will contain the information required to launch and support the build. The PDR will initially be derived from the Product Launch Record and passed by the MidWatch Service to an Engine Room. |
| Project ? | Normally a single .dsp file and files referenced by the .dsp file, but in the expanded architecture, this may be a make file of some kind or even a .vbp or .vbg file. The term may be renamed. |
| Battle Bill | A list of Projects ? and replaces the project list in the 0.1.xx architecture. The phrase "Bill of Materials" is to be avoided, as for many install engineers, a Bill of Materials (BOM) is a list of the files that are delivered to the customer in a Kit. MidWatch may later produce a BOM, or even prepare a kit by configuring a BOM. |
| xarch | The extended architechture for version 0.5.xx |
