Native Calls

Note that a CPIC user can't tell whether the package is included in the standard Java distribution or calls an add-on DLL. In fact, what is and isn't included in standard Java depends largely on what Sun chooses to include. When standard function is lacking, programmers can compensate by implementing libraries that call native methods. Of course, it then becomes their responsibility to provide cross-platform support--something lacking in the prototype.
