Object Linking and Embedding
<operating system> (OLE) A distributed object system and protocol from
Microsoft, also used on the Acorn Archimedes. OLE allows an editor to "farm out"
part of a document to another editor and then reimport it. For example, a
desk-top publishing system might send some text to a word processor or a picture
to a bitmap editor using OLE.
