Well, on the other hand the Debian Linux "man" page for "dladdr" etc has the title "programming interface to dynamic linking loader", so it seems that the Unix word also uses "dynamically linked" in some cases. The term also occurs frequently in the "man" page for "ld". Perhaps the best Unix usage is to speak of "dynamic linking to a shared library" ? But this is off-topic, sorry... -- Niklas Holsti Tidorum Ltd niklas holsti tidorum fi . @ .
