Message-ID: <mvhDAwCo1.F8L@netcom.com> Organization: NETCOM On-line Communication Services (408 261-4700 guest) X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL1] Date: Wed, 28 Jun 1995 18:57:37 GMT Lines: 5 Sender: mvh@netcom16.netcom.com How are shared libs implemented? I'm curious - a thumbnail sketch would suffice. I assume that the libraries are mapped into memory - how does the linking occur - dynamically? Is the linking symbolic? Thanks in advance.
