file allocation table (FAT). The DOS-, OS/2-,
Windows 95-, and Windows NT-compatible file
system that manages input, output, and storage of
files on your system. File names can be up to 8

fix record. A status record that is associated
with a work area and that is used to monitor the
phases of change within each component that is
affected by a defect or feature for a specific
release.
freeze. The freeze action saves changed parts to
the work area. Thus, TeamConnection takes a
snapshot of the work area, including all of the
current versions of parts visible from that work
area, and saves this image of the system. The
user can always come back to this stage of
development in the work area. Note, however, that
a freeze action does not make the changes visible
to the other people working in the release.

multiple and different storage devices. File names
used with HPFS can have as many as 254
characters.
host. A host node, host computer, or host
system.
host list. A list associated with each
TeamConnection user ID that indicates the client
machine that can access the family server and act
