It {ILE} isn't *that* complex. It's basically really just implementations on 
the iSeries of a number of well used, and older 'runtime' concepts that have 
been used on other platforms for years prior to ILE arriving on the iSeries. 
There is nothing 'magic' about ILE, and as for 'secret' nothing it does is not 
already done elsewhere on other platforms.
