I fail to see where you're getting this 'feeling' from. I see
countless posts daily, asking when shared libraries will be
available for 386bsd. There are already some crude implmentations
out there that seem to be workable.
Last I heard, some (generous) people were working on it, and one
had some code that was ready to go alpha.
I'm eagerly looking forward to them.
Toodlepip!
Marc [patiently waiting] 'em.
