A method of downloading and embedding a trial application program from a host system into a target system via a communication channel linking the two systems, wherein the trial application program contains unresolved address references that are not associated with specific memory locations of the target system, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) the host system interrogating the target system'"'"'s program and data memory via the communication channel in order to determine the specific memory locations of the target system'"'"'s memory space where the trial application may be embedded;

    (b) based on the interrogation step, the host system further resolving the address references of the trial application program into memory specific address references associated with the target system'"'"'s memory space; and

    (c) downloading the trial application program that includes the resolved address references from the host system to the target system via the communication channel, thereby embedding the trial application into specific memory locations of the target system'"'"'s memory space.
