Ok, makes sense.

Thanks also to all the other posters, it's not an easy topic it seems. 
Personally I prefer the initialization call to a library simply because 
it gives the programmer the liberty of determining the place in the 
sequence of initializations of a potential longer list of libraries 
which may interfere with each other's initialization if the sequence is 
not under program control.
I am forced to use a graphics library currently which calls your program 
as a DLL and controls your program and boy is that a pain in the butt.
