I'm looking for a package which allow some method of dynamic module loading/unloading under Unix. I'm using SunOs 4.1 but I would prefer a package which would be fairly portable (at least across SysV platforms). The only package I have looked at so far is dld from the FSF. It has the kinds of features I am looking for but the FSF copyright makes it unsuitable for commercial application. Does anyone know of a similar package? Either freely distributable or commercial is fine (as long as the price is reasonable). -- Charles Krasic | Voice : (604) 294-1471 MPR Teltech Ltd. | Fax : (604) 293-5787 8999 Nelson Way, Burnaby, BC | E-Mail: krasic@mprgate.mpr.ca Canada, V5A 4B5 | mprgate.mpr.ca!krasic@uunet.uu.net

What is it about the FSF "copyleft" that makes a dynamic LINKER unsuitable for commercial use? Eliot -- J. Eliot B.
