As projects grow and multiply, the number of these variables adds up quickly. A dozen or more such environment variables per system is (prior to IRON) not uncommon. Coordinating their use and evolution among a team of programmers can become a challenge.
IRON has made it possible to simplify this scenario dramatically. For any commonly used library, it suffices to:
* Install the library on an IRON server.
* Install the library from an IRON server.
* For any program that uses the library, include in the project's ECF a reference to the library's location <i>in the server</i>, rather than its physical location.
