This is a strange question/idea, Why is the standard C library like the code in string.h, stdio.h ect. in shared libraries? if need be, the programer could change his code and make a new library. If most of the libraries were converted to a shared lib format wouldn't that reduce memory and disk space requirements tremendously? not only that, but complile times and exec times would soar, woudn't they? you'll have to forgive me if this sounds niave, but i think it's a good idea. ._________________________________________ __ _ |Alfred Perlstein - Programming & SysAdmin for hire... |perlsta@sunyit.edu |http://www.cs.sunyit.edu/~perlsta : ---"Have you seen my FreeBSD tatoo?"
