RAM
(Random Access Memory) The internal dynamic storage of a computer that
can be addressed by the computer’s operating system.
See “Memory, DOS management.”
Read-ahead cache
A data cache that can be used to enhance client reads for clients that do not
use packet burst mode protocol. While a client is processing the first
response to a read request, the NetWare engine reads the rest of the file into
read-ahead cache so that subsequent requests can be served from memory.
See “Cache memory”; “Packet Burst protocol.”
Read Only attribute
A file system attribute that indicates that no one can write to the file.
See “Attributes.”

A file system right that grants the right to open and read files.
Also, a Directory Services property right that grants the right to read the
values of the property.
See “Rights.”

The mode that allows 80286, 80386, and 80486 processors to emulate an
8086 processor and run as though they actually were an 8086 processor.
