Abstract

Method and apparatus for forming a binary image file to be loaded into a PROM installable on an interactive network board includes the use of a memory for storing (i) a configuration file, (ii) a utility program for forming the binary image file, and (iii) a plurality of independently executable application programs for the board. A PROM is used for storing the application programs. A processor reads the configuration file from the memory, and selects a subset of the independently executable application programs from the memory in accordance with the read configuration file. The processor then orders the selected programs in accordance with the read configuration file and writes, into each selected program, data which identifies that program and points to an immediately succeeding program. Finally, the processor loads the ordered programs, with their identification data, into the PROM.
