That's OK. I'll get the source and check it out (ftp.gnu.org ?)

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant that I'd have one source
dump for Linux-based machines and one for DOS-based machines. I'd compile the
DOS binary and the modules separately to the Linux ones. Like what Quake II
did with its video code. Is that feasible ? Is there format more suited to
DLLs that I could use (and get GCC to compile binaries in it) ? Thanks,
Pete =:-)
