Hi. I am in possession of a large library of C code designed to manipulate, filter, analyze image data under UNIX. I would like to port this to the MacIntosh by setting up a front end application on the MacIntosh which is capable of linking in from this library of code as is necessary. The problem is that this library is being constantly updated, so I want to make an application which will work with *any* such library: i.e. the library code is not to be included in the application itself. What I would like to know is if there is a way to use the Segment loader to load code into an application which was not compiled with the the application, or if any other technique for run-time linking exists for the Mac. P.S. it is desireable to have all the code in one application at execution time due to the magnitude of the overhead involved with transfering image data. P.P.S. Where does one find this sort of thing anyhow? Inside the MacIntosh and any other Mac Reference I've seen is very superficial in their treatment of most everything. Please mail directly to lowell@image.waterloo.edu.
