Well, the good reason is AIX implemented DLLS well before any other Unixes, and they stuck to their home implementation. The basic call is "load". AIX allows you to get load-time dynamic linking (transparent to caller, only requires some setup at compile / link time) as well as run-time dynamic linking with the load and unload calls. >Why are you asking questions about Windoze, SunOS and AIX on a FreeBSD >newsgroup?

(FreeBSD does support runtime dynamic loading Maybe that's because his news server does not download groups related to AIX ? Mine does not have them either. ------------------------- Frederic G.
