Abstract
In this chapter we consider those issues affecting planning for portability that are separate from details of how the portable programs themselves are to be written. The subject is introduced by considering the functions of the donor and the installer of a piece of portable software. We then consider in some detail the kinds of documentation and testing appropriate for portable software.
