The Program Specification

The ADAM application program to be run is determined by the user interface when the appropriate command is issued. The program then finds the corresponding Interface Module (see Appendix [*]). The SSE worked in a different way - the user interface found the Interface Module first and the Interface Module defined which executable image was to be run. The Program Specification fields controlled the name of the program to be executed when a request to run an application is received, and where to find the executable image.

There are 2 Program Specification fields: PROGRAM and EPATH.
