Zusammenfassung:Program developers use the program packaging tools of the invention to create programs packaged in four levels: LCG (2000), PFG (3000), SFG (4000, and OCG (5000). An application developer uses the application packaging tools of the invention to combine several of these program packages together to create an application package. This is done by adding the AG level (1000) on top of the four levels pf the selected program packages. In addition, the application developer can select certain primary and secondary functions of the selected program packages while omitting other primary and secondary functions of the selected program packages. The packaging structure and packaging tools of the subject invention gives the developers the power and flexibility to create an application opackage tailor fit to meet the needs of a specific user.
