Hi,

I'm fairly new to C++ programming. I'm trying to achieve some very
basic dynamic linking.  How do I go about doing this?  What I want to
do, is have a "shared object" file that basically contains a class
definition, class methods, etc.  I also want an executable program
that at runtime grabs this shared object file and uses it to create an
instance of the class that is defined in it.  Does this mean I would
have something like this:

exectuable.exe
sharedobject.so

???

I'm not worried about doing this in any way that is considered to be
the conventional way.  I only want to achieve some simple dynamic
linking, just to see if I can get it to work.  Eventually I want to
learn COM, and before I start messing with COM I want to have a
modular program.  Please let me know if you can clarify any of my
confusion.

Thanks,

Paul
