Hello everyone - During the past couple of days there has been at least one inquiry and several replies about DLL on Windows 95. I can't help with the question (I'm running Windows 3.1), but I noticed long ago that many files on my computer have the extension .DLL. They were frequently referred to in various places, so I figured they must be important; but I wondered for a long time just what the initials meant. Then just recently someone on the Listserv, perhaps accidentally, dropped the name Dynamic Link Library, together with the initials. "Aha!" I said to myself, "now I know what DLL means." Then I stopped Aha-ing, because I had to ask: What is a dynamic link library? Wally Riley wryly at mindspring.com
