	Runtime Summary
		Runtime programming enables the logical occurrence of such events during the execution of an application, without having to go through time-consuming and error-prone cycles of the compilation of code and the execution of the compiled code.
		The term is also used as a short form when referring to a runtime library (without a space), a program or library of basic code that is used by a particular computer language to manage a program written in that language while it is running.
		A runtime library is a collection of utility functions which support a program while it is running, working with the operating system to provide facilities such as mathematical functions, input and output.

	Netscape Portable Runtime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Netscape Portable Runtime, or NSPR, is a platform abstraction library that makes all operating systems it supports appear the same to Mozilla.
		A good portion of the library's purpose, and perhaps the primary purpose in the Gromit environment, is to provide the underpinnings of the Java VM, more or less mapping the sys layer that Sun defines for the porting of the Java VM to various platforms.
		Depending on the platform, the functions may be implemented almost entirely in the NSPR runtime or simply shims that call immediately into the host operating system's offerings.

	Write Cross-Platform Software (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		I'd like to point out a few remarkable achievements like the Apache Portable Runtime for C programmers, or the Boost project for C++.
		Aside from the program source code themselves, portability is also inherently limited by the build tools we use to assemble our code and data into programs on various platforms.
		I don't know much about the netscape runtime, but I guess they are able to make threads work on the Mac because Mozilla works on classic Mac OS.

	NSS FAQ - MDC
		Netscape Personal Security Manager ships with Netscape 6 and the Gateway Connected Touch Pad with Instant AOL, and is also available for use with Communicator 4.7x.
		To provide cross-platform support, NSS utilizes Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) libraries as a portability interface and implementation that provides consistent cross-platform semantics for network I/O and threading models.
		Netscape strongly recommends that multithreaded applications use the NSPR or native OS threading model.

	Warpzilla - Mozilla for OS/2
		To start at the beginning, Netscape has announced that we (I'll use "we" since I work for Netscape; I don't speak on the company's behalf, though) will be released to the world.
		A Netscape representative (actually, it was me) made a "public" statement about the release of OS/2 sources early on in the discussion in the news group mentioned at the top of this page.
		What this means is that the Netscape source base is already "gmake-friendly." To switch to another make would require some effort to rework all the BE makefile tweaks that have already been done.

	Why Standards Alone Won't Get You Portable Software and How to Make Open-Source Middleware Work for You > Motivation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The need to write portable software that runs on a variety of computing platforms becomes more obvious every day.
		Unfortunately, the old adage that "the nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from" is even more applicable today than it was a decade ago.
		Since your customers pay you to solve their business needs—not to wrestle continuously with portability details—it's worthwhile to consider how to ensure that standards work for you, rather than against you.

		To return to the football analogy, my epitaph for Netscape is that it is a company that told the press and its shareholders that it was aiming to play in the Super Bowl, but disdained to practice blocking and tackling.
		While Netscape's executives were formulating these nifty strategies, Sun and Microsoft were getting their code in shape.
		Microsoft and Netscape experienced setbacks, the authors conclude, because of "failures in execution." They add that both Microsoft and Netscape are guilty of having been too greedy (Netscape for cash, Microsoft for market share).

	XPCOM Part 5: Implementation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		The Netscape Portable Runtime (NSPR) is a C library that handles most basic OS resource requests like memory allocation, file management, and thread synchronization.
		If you ignore the threading model expected by another component you will soon be fighting a losing battle against race conditions and debug assertions complaining about components and memory being allocated and released from different threads.
		The first option of implementing a fully reentrant component can be done by using the semaphore and mutex features of NSPR -- the portable runtime that XPCOM is layered upon (see Resources).

	Linux Magazine - February 2005 \| Feature Story \| The Apache Portable Runtime
		While POSIX does a passable job of providing a portable API for most Unix and Unix-like platforms, POSIX either doesn’t exist on other operating systems or is so full of bugs as to be unusable.
		So, to make something portable, you could write, rewrite, and tweak your code several times — at least so the code compiles on several platforms.
		Or, you can use the Apache Portable Runtime (http://apr.apache.org/) the same library that makes the ubiquitous Apache HTTP server portable.
