I'm aware that you need to use the functions provided by libdl.a (or libdl.so) and dlfcn.h, but am not entirely sure how to map the function pointers returned by dlsym into Ada so they can be called correctly. Anyone have an example or advice on working with dynamically loaded shared libraries? Cheers, Chris -- for personal replies change 'spamoff' to 'chris'
