I got the DLM utility that allows dynamic linking of coff 
images.  If anyone has it and they can help I would be very thankful.

But anyways, I am trying to make a scripting language that will allow 
further add-ons later.  There is the basic script language, and then if 
a symbol is not recognized by the basic, it loops through the list of 
other functions that may be used to read the symbol.  What I want is to 
load a list of dlms into memory, each one having a function with the 
same name, say 'check_symbol', and then, once check_symbol in the first 
dlm returns zero, the next dlm is loaded and the next check_symbol is 
called, until all have been called and returned zero or until one is 
successful.  This loop works one time, but once the first dlm is loaded 
again, the check_symbol of the last dlm is  called still.  Is there a 
way to completely Unload a dlm or a way to use function selection?

Thanks for reading.  I am sure the above is pretty confusing.
