[In response to my question, Monty King suggested Linux *did* have DLLs] Hopefully, I'm wrong, but my sparse research tells me that DLLs operate a bit differently in Unix land. The code is linked at run time, but apparently the linkages - and the exact functions - must be declared in the code at compile time. Something along the lines of linking to a dummy .SA file, and executing a .SO file at run time. Perhaps some Unix guru can tell me I'm wrong. For those that missed the top of the thread, I'm hoping that Robert will do a Linux port some time in the (near) future, and I'd like to be able to build X Window applications in it. But since I havn't coded Linux -or- X Windows applications before, I'm not sure what goodies I need to ask for... Thanks. -- David Cuny
