operating system A utility program to remove another
application program from a computer's disks.
Most commonly found on IBM PCs, as applications tend to
leave files in various places on the hard disc, so special
software is required to tidy up after them.
Ken Spreitzer [email protected] claims to have written the
original PC program called "UnInstaller", first licensed to
MicroHelp and now (Feb 1998) sold by CyberMedia.
Compare with installer.
