DLL's sometimes contain other stuff as well - bitmaps, icons, and various other data which programs may want to use, generally referred to as 'resources'. The purpose, of course, was to save space and to prevent programmers from having to continually 're-invent the wheel' with each program they write. Regards, Irv

>From Webopedia.internet.com : "Short for Dynamic Link Library, a library of executable functions or data that can be used by a Windows application. Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL. A static link remains constant during program execution while a dynamic link is created by the program as needed. DLLs can also contain just data. DLL files usually end with the extension .dll,.exe., drv, or .fon. A DLL can be used by several applications at the same time. Some DLLs are provided with the Windows operating system and available for any Windows application. Other DLLs are written for a particular application and are loaded with the application."
