PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To update software modules bundled in a read-only device of a computer. SOLUTION: When a software module is executed from the read-only device, an operating system identifies other arbitrary software modules stored in the read-only device on which the application depends. After identifying all of the dependencies, the operating determines whether a newer version of the identified software modules has been installed on the computer. The operating system copies into a read/write device a portion of the software module that references the old software modules. After copying the portion, the operating system modifies all references so as to point the new versions of the software module. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
