This thread has got sidetracked down a very strange line. Software
originally referred to the part of the pc that wasn't hardware, however
this has evolved over the last half century, and software now generally
denotes encoded machine instructions for the hardware to execute. If it
isn't designed to be executed it's just common garden data.
