In the end, it was forced not to link to DLLs but rather to create a separate program with which its own commercial program communicated via IPC. This program contained much of the company's own work. --Brett Glass To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
