First, a little explanation: If you have SCO Xenix 386 release 2.3, you can run programs that use shared libraries, but there is no facility in the Xenix Development System to create one or to create the library itself. For that, you need Unix and the Unix Development System. To create a shared library, look in the man page mkshlib(CP). Since I have never done one, I am not going to attempt to further lead the blind.... To use it, refer to it on your cc line the same way that you would refer to a normal library. Once created it is treated in all ways like a standard library. Roger Knopf SCO Consulting Services -- "His potential clients were always giving him the business." --Robert Thornton
