1.7. Embedded Jam™ STAPL Players

The embedded Jam™ STAPL Player is able to read .jam that conforms to the standard JEDEC file format and is backward compatible with legacy Jam version 1.1 syntax. Similarly, the Jam™ STAPL Byte-Code Player can play .jbc compiled from Jam™ STAPL and Jam version 1.1 .jam.
