Actually, IBM's PC has very nice documentation (that does not cost
you an arm and a leg).  There are some BIG COMPUTER MANUFACTURER
problems with doing stuff with such a little machine.  The PC Technical
Manual has a glossary that was probably distilled or referenced from some
larger IBM dictionary.  Under 'D' it lists:

	DSR:  Data Set Ready (...explantation of meaning of this
				modem control bit...)

	DTR:  Distribution Tape Reel

This I can live with however.
