- The topmost directory that you can see. Under DOS the root directory is typically c:\.
Each volume or disk drive will have its own root directory.
- rot13
- A method of encoding possibly offensive postings on Usenet so that those who don't want
to be offended can avoid accidentally seeing the posting. Works by converting each letter
to a number (a = 1, b = 2, and so forth), adding 13 to the number, and then converting
back into letters, rendering the file unreadable without deciphering.
