Abstract
A technique for converting a software program into an object oriented class for sending across a network. A software program is loaded as instance data into a single object oriented class which is self-extracting. Preferably, each program file from the software program is compressed prior to being loaded as instance data into the class. The class may be a Java class which is sent over the Internet to a Java enabled computer system, where the class is unpackaged and the original software program recreated.
