ABSTRACT:
A new format of executable program is provided which is flexible and open-ended to provide a means for storing heterogeneous program data in an executable program. In a computer system having a central processing unit, memory, and a storage device, a system and method of executing a computer program is provided for converting one or more source programs into an executable program. The data from the object modules are arranged according to a set of predefined classes. Each class of data is written out to memory keeping data from the same class stored together. Only the data in classes needed for running the program are loaded into memory. As data is required to continue running the program, it is read into memory. A directory is maintained of where each class is stored on the storage device.
