panic
1. What Unix does when a critical internal consistency checks fails in such a way that Unix cannot continue. The kernel attempts to print a short message on the console and write an image of memory into the swap area on disk. This can be analysed later using adb. The kernel will then either wait in a tight loop until the machine is rebooted or will initiate an automatic reboot.
Unix manual page: panic(8). 2. Action taken by software which discovers some fatal problem which prevents it from continuing to run.Last updated: 1995-03-01
PANON
A family of pattern-directed string processing languages based on generalised Markov algorithms. PANON-1 is based on simple generalised Markov algorithms and PANON-2 on conditional functional generalised Markov algorithms. ["String Processing Languages and Generalized Markov Algorithms", A. C.

<graphics>
A set of standard colours for printing, each of which is specified by a single number. You can buy a Pantone swatch book containing samples of each colour. Some computer graphics software allows colours to be specified as Pantone numbers. Even though a computer monitor can only show an approximation to some of the colours, the software can output a colour separation for each different Pantone colour, enabling a print shop to exactly reproduce the original desired colour.
