Run Time Library Support

The equivalence of a run time library, now becomes a collection of run time services. Each service is a process running at least at one location in the NOS and potentially many locations. There is a name space of services.

The path variable is a list of locations to find services. When a service is requested, the path is walked finding the service. The elements in the path variable correspond to location in the distributed file system.
