  software
       
           (Or "computer program", "program", "code") The
          instructions executed by a computer, as opposed to the
          physical device on which they run (the "{hardware").
       
          The term was coined by the eminent statistician, John Tukey.
       
          Programs stored on non-volatile storage built from
          integrated circuits (e.g. ROM or PROM) are usually
          called firmware.
       
          Software can be split into two main types - system software
          and application software or application programs.  System
          software is any software required to support the production or
          execution of application programs but which is not specific to
          any particular application.  Examples of system software would
          include the operating system, compilers, editors and
          sorting programs.
       
          Examples of application programs would include an accounts
          package or a CAD program.  Other broad classes of
          application software include real-time software, business
          software, scientific and engineering software, embedded
          software, personal computer software and artificial
          intelligence software.
       
          Software includes both source code written by humans and
          executable machine code produced by assemblers or
          compilers.  It does not usually include the data processed
          by programs unless this is in a format such as multimedia
          which depends on the use of computers for its presentation.
          This distinction becomes unclear in cases such as spread
          sheets which can contain both instructions (formulae and
          macros) and data.  There are also various intermediate
          compiled or semi-compiled, forms of software such as
          library files and byte-code.
       
          Some claim that documentation (both paper and electronic) is
          also software.  Others go further and define software to be
          programs plus documentation though this does not correspond
          with common usage.
       
          The noun "program" describes a single, complete and
          more-or-less self-contained list of instructions, often stored
          in a single file, whereas "code" and "software" are
          uncountable nouns describing some number of instructions which
          may constitute one or more programs or part thereof.  Most
          programs, however, rely heavily on various kinds of operating
          system software for their execution.  The nounds "code" and
          "software" both refer to the same thing but "code" tends to
          suggest an interest in the implementation details whereas
          "software" is more of a user's term.
