[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.
