Abstract

A linkage editor executing at a server receives instructions for packaging software components that are required for program execution at a client. The linkage editor generates an output file by iteratively analyzing the program for references to other software components and extracting those components from their parent classes. The linkage editor sends the completed output file to an interface task, which transmits it to the client.
