A target object code is modified to include information identifying files associated with the interpretive procedure. A compiled representation of the interpretive procedure is generated by linking together adapter code, the modified target object code, and an interpreter. The compiled representation of the interpretive procedure is invocable by a compiled computer program. The adapter code is in binary and includes an interpreter command module. The interpreter command module when executed causes the interpreter to load and interpretively execute the files associated with the interpretive procedure. The adapter code also includes a parameter conversion module, which converts the parameter list to the interpretive computer language of the interpretive procedure.Other References
