	AMX Mod Compatibility Layer (AMX Mod X) - AMWiki
		The AMX Mod compatibility layer (codenamed 'bcompat') is largely done through a plugin called amxmod_bcompat.
		For source compatibility, all stocks are mimicked from their original includes into the AMX Mod compatibility includes.
		When editing the compatibility layer, it is organized into separate.sma files, which are included into the main amxmod_compat.sma file.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Compatibility layer
		A compatibility layer requires the host system's CPU to be (upwardly) compatible to that of the emulated system.
		Thus, for example, a MS Windows compatibility layer is not possible on PowerPC hardware, since MS Windows requires an x86 CPU; in that case, full emulation is needed.
		The architecture of the Linux ABI compatibility layer on LynxOS is largely independent from the LynxOS native functionality.

	osCommerce Team Blogging Entries » Blog Archive » History Lesson: register_globals In osCommerce 2.2
		Although register_globals needed to be enabled, it was not until June 2002 that it was forced upon in osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 1 (February 2003) with an evil exit() message if it was disabled, as a means to reduce the number of bug reports made with PHP 4.2.0+ installations.
		The fix is covered by a compatibility layer and can only be active on PHP 4.3+ installations.
		This is to keep compatibility with the add-ons available where advancements to PHP that are used for the compatibility layer are available since 4.3.0.

	The Technology Behind LynxOS v4.0's Linux ABI Compatibility
		This white paper examines the issues surrounding ABI compatibility in general and describes the architecture of the Linux ABI compatibility layer on LynxOS v4.0.
		The compatibility testing of the Linux ABI compatibility layer was done using a combination of automated and manual testing.
		The architecture of the Linux ABI compatibility layer on LynxOS is largely independent from the LynxOS native functionality.

	Haiku Getting a FreeBSD Network Driver Compatibility Layer \| Haiku Operating System
		Thanks to the work of one of the most active code contributors lately, Hugo Santos, Haiku is getting a generic FreeBSD network driver compatibility layer that will allow FreeBSD network drivers to be compiled and used in Haiku with few, if any changes.
		At the time of this writing, not only has Hugo committed the compatibility layer to the Haiku tree, but he has also succeeded in building two FreeBSD drivers (if_em/Intel Pro 1000 and if_le/PCNet) which are now capable of running in Haiku.
		Our network stack is written from scratch, this driver porting effort through a compatibility layer was possible because FreeBSD's drivers are neatly contained and our current network driver API permits it.

	How To Enable Application Compatibility-Mode Technology in Windows 2000 SP2 and SP3
		Compatibility mode provides an environment for running programs that more closely reflects the behavior of either Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0.
		Administrators can enable and disable the mechanism that improves compatibility with older platforms (also known as Shim Technology) by using the Compatibility Layer Tab.
		After a shortcut has a Compatibility Layer enabled, the user also runs the program under the compatibility layer, however, the user cannot see the settings in the Compatibility Layer Tab.

	StyleServer Development Interface
		This layer, at the root of the styleserver, consists of a query string parser as the index (index.css), and any number of "frozen query strings" or named style families (e.g., Midnight.css).
		Named style families generally include files in the compatibility layer, while the query parser includes files in the source layer unless the "safety" keyword is present in the query string.
		This layer consists of.css files containing XSSI logic either to withhold, to include, or to provide substitute CSS for the modules requested in the assembly layer, based on the name, version, and platform of the requesting UA.

	Webopedia: The 7 Layers of the OSI Model
		Control is passed from one layer to the next, starting at the application layer in one station, proceeding to the bottom layer, over the channel to the next station and back up the hierarchy.
		This layer provides transparent transfer of data between end systems, or hosts, and is responsible for end-to-end error recovery and flow control.
		Routing and forwarding are functions of this layer, as well as addressing, internetworking, error handling, congestion control and packet sequencing.

	Stackable Design of File Systems
		Layers work together since each layer is bounded above and below by the same (symmetric) interface; layer configuration is limited only by semantic constraints.
		Layers can be independently developed and distributed as binary-only modules to protect the investment in their development.
		With an extensible interface, a layer may be confronted by an operation it does not understand.

	VMware Infrastructure SDK version 2.0.1-1.x Compatibility Notes (Site not responding. Last check: )
		VMware Infrastructure SDK 1.x compatibility mode is designed for the convenience of developers who maintain existing SDK client applications that run with VirtualCenter 1.x and ESX Server 2.x.
		If compatibility mode was not enabled when VirtualCenter was installed, you can enable it later by changing a setting in the Windows registry on the VirtualCenter server.
		When using compatibility mode with ESX Server 3 hosts, you can view a VMotion network on the host, but it is not accessible to virtual machine objects.

	Let me explain one more time why the Atlas compatibility layer works this way... - Atlas and more
		One thing that should probably be mentioned is that sometimes, when the compat layer method can't work, we're reverting to one of the other two.
		With the solution you describe, in the general case, you need the server's collaboration to inject the callback/notofication at the end of the script, or you need the script to be executable at a non-global scope (which is fine for data).
		As it is now, you're claiming that the reason you implmented the compat layer the way you did is because other browsers are extensible in ways IE isn't.

	LWN: GPLv2 enforcement
		But maybe the compatibility layers dependence is through a standard interfaces, which are allowed exceptions in most countries i believe.
		You misunderstand me in your windows example, what im claiming is that the compatibility layer is the derivative work of both layers, the GPL requires athe source of dependencies be distributable.
		But its all depends on the interfaces, if it uses standard interfaces to windows then the compatibility layer is probably ok, but as you suggest in your first post, only a judge can say for sure.

	LWN: Patch: A proposal - binary blobs
		This layer is completely separate from the kernel, and absolutely cannot be compiled into the kernel.
		This is absolutely required for future compatibility - with new versions of each hypervisor being released regularly, and new competing hypervisors emerging, it is a necessity.
		This means the code from one layer is visible to the other purely as a binary "blob".

	[Gs-devel] Re: autotools for building Ghostscript
		It is available in sufficiently compatible form on every system that hasn't completely abandoned the concept of a shell: Unix/Linux, MS Windows (3 different toolsets), OS/2, OpenVMS,....
		The goal of course is to have a shared compatibility layer, > rather than a private one, as much as possible.
		Requiring the use of a "shared compatibility layer" is not acceptable: for example, one of Artifex's engineers just lost several days discovering that simply installing the MKS Toolkit breaks other things in Windows 2000.

	kbAlertz: Error 3041 "Incompatible database version" is the result when you use the Microsoft Access ...
		According to the README.TXT file for the Compatibility Layer, after installing the Compatibility Layer, the CompactDatabase statement in Visual Basic version 3.0, when used with the DB_VERSION10 constant (from the file DATACONS.TXT), is supposed to generate a Microsoft Access version 1.1 database.
		There is a bug in the Compatibility Layer that causes the CompactDatabase statement to always create a Microsoft Access version 2.0 database regardless of the existence of the constant DB_VERSION10 as an option.
		WARNING: If the Compatibility Layer has been installed and you're using a Microsoft Access version 1.1 database with a Visual Basic application, NEVER use CompactDatabase on the version 1.1 database if you want it to remain in version 1.1 format.

		They also don't offer much in the way of key-stroke compatibility with their Adobe counterparts--that is the keyboard shortcuts in the two sets of applications are different and the Corel products are missing shortcuts to some often-used features.
		While their product may be targeted at a different market, Corel has attempted to duplicate all of the features and most of the interface of two applications (Adobe's Photoshop and Illustrator) that are targeted more at the graphics professional than the home user.
		The biggest problem areas that I encountered were in PhotoPaint's relatively awkward handling of layers and layer transparency (the bread and butter of any image editor) and CorelDRAW's lack of keyboard shortcuts for many common functions.

	FREENIX Track: USENIX 2002 Annual Technical Conference - Paper
		Since X10 compatibility is no longer an important issue, XCB attempts to re-use the existing X11 protocol documentation by keeping its parameter order identical to the order of the fields in the binary protocol specification.
		While Xlib does attempt to layer portions of its implementation, the division between upper and lower layers in Xlib is only visible upon careful examination of the library.
		The division of XCL into an upper layer consisting of code borrowed from Xlib and a lower layer replacing some of the more complex and confusing portions of Xlib with calls to XCB may help to illuminate the structure of Xlib and of X protocol bindings in general.
