RAINMAN

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

RAINMAN, which stands for Remote Automated INformation MANager, is the proprietary publishing language of America Online (AOL). RAINMAN code is used to create forums and pages on the AOL service. Although many consider RAINMAN to be simpler to use and more reliable than HTML, AOL has recently begun using the universal HTML code to publish content and information to its service, moving away from its own publishing language. Unlike HTML, RAINMAN commands and access is kept strictly confidential by AOL, which provides training and usage rights only to company staff. Many recent AOL security issues have been the result of hackers gaining access to RAINMAN control.
