- motion jpeg — Moving JPEG
- moving jpeg — (graphics, compression) (M-JPEG) A compression technique for moving images which applies JPEG still image compression to each frame of a moving picture sequence. Play-back requires a machine capable of decompressing and displaying each JPEG image quickly enough to sustain the required frame rate of the picture sequence. There is no standard for Moving JPEG as with JPEG, but there are JPEG compression chips (for example see Zoran) which are designed to work at television frame rates and resolutions. See also MPEG and MPEG2.

- objective c — (language) An object-oriented superset of ANSI C by Brad Cox, Productivity Products. Its additions to C are few and are mostly based on Smalltalk. Objective C is implemented as a preprocessor for C. Its syntax is a superset of standard C syntax, and its compiler accepts both C and Objective C source code (filename extension ".m"). It has no operator overloading, multiple inheritance, or class variables. It does have dynamic binding. It is used as the system programming language on the NeXT. As implemented for NEXTSTEP, the Objective C language is fully compatible with ANSI C. Objective C can also be used as an extension to C++, which lacks some of the possibilities for object-oriented design that dynamic typing and dynamic binding bring to Objective C. C++ also has features not found in Objective C. Versions exist for MS-DOS, Macintosh, VAX/VMS and Unix workstations. Language versions by Stepstone, NeXT and GNU are slightly different. There is a library of (GNU) Objective C objects by R. Andrew McCallum <[email protected]> with similar functionality to Smalltalk's Collection objects. It includes: Set, Bag, Array, LinkedList, LinkList, CircularArray, Queue, Stack, Heap, SortedArray, MappedCollector, GapArray and DelegateList. Version: Alpha Release. ftp://iesd.auc.dk/pub/ObjC/. See also: Objectionable-C.
