UWin's posix.dll provides dlopen and dlclose, and I think everything else one would need, so if you desperately needed these you could check that project out and perhaps make a libposix.a. You could also get the gnu dl libraries and try and modify them to make (pe i think is what they're called) Win32 executables. All in all, good luck. - alex - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
