I'm interested in creating some sort of DLL (Dynamic Link Library)
-like ability in a DOS-based program, using DOS-targeting compilers
(DJGPP, QuickC, or a variety of older assemblers). Is this something
I'd have to write a library for, like a DLL handler that would load
the DLL, retrieve function locations, and have a handler function that
would take the desired DLL function and manually handle the stack and
IP register to call it? Or is there a simpler way that I'm missing?

Thanks!
