On-line

2 entries found.
From WordNet (r) 1.6 [wn]
on-line
     adj 1: (transportation) on a regular route of a railroad or bus or
            airline system; "on-line industries" [ant: {off-line}]
     2: (computer sci) connected to a computer network or accessible
        by computer; "an on-line database" [ant: {off-line}]
     3: being in progress now; "on-line editorial projects" [syn: {on-line(a)}]
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (19 Jan 01) [foldoc]
on-line
   <jargon> 1. Ready for use.  E.g. "The graph plotter's fixed
   and on-line again".
   2. {Interactive} as opposed to {batch}.  Accessible via a
   computer (or {terminal}), rather than on paper or other
   medium.
   3. Of a user, actively using a computer system, especially the
   {Internet}.  E.g "I haven't been on-line for three days."
   "On-line" should be hyphenated because it is compounded from
   two words but the hyphen is often omitted in names of
   organisations or services.
