public class AtlLib
extends java.lang.Object

ATL (Active Template Library) is a Visual Studio runtime library we use to create ActiveX controls like the Trimble GPS Receiver. This native library depends on ATL80.dll, which if missing could prevent the native library from loading, which is why we separated it into its own native library. ATL80.dll must be installed by a Windows Installer, for which we have built PartnerAtlInstaller.msi.
