That's still the case. The dynamic linker itself doesn't care what the name looks like. It's just a filename as far at it's concerned. But ldconfig refuses to recognize a filename as an ELF shared library unless it has exactly one version number. I made it that way because otherwise there was a lot of confusion if some a.out shared libraries happened to be in the same directory. John --- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D.
