Abstract
A single program loader loads program modules for multiple platforms in an emulation environment. A name list has entries each containing the name of a module for one platform and the name of a corresponding module for another platform. The loader identifies first-platform modules in a load list, and substitutes the corresponding module for the other platform. Modules referenced in any loaded module are added to the load list recursively.
