Last month someone asked for sample specification and import files to implement static shared libraries under SystemV. I can send copies of the spec and import files used to implement static shared Xlib under SVR 3.2 to anyone who contacts me asking for them. AT&T has had a static shared version of Xlib in X11R2 and X11R3 and has a version working in X11R4 (yet unreleased). Clients using them are upward compatible, i.e. R2 clients that used static shared Xlib in that release will work with static shared in R4. By the way, dynamic shared libraries (available in SVR4.0) are much easier to deal with (no spec/import files, for one thing). Paul Jayne
