If DLL's were implemented in GJGPP I cannot see that we should have to lose the static libraries, and therefore the only argument that I can come up with against DLL's is the work involved in implementing this facility (which I agree may well be enough for it not to be done), since one can always refrain from using the facility if one finds it disadvantagoeous. Apart from saving disk space and to a lesser extent memory, there is also a need for DLL's if one wants to include C-code in GUI's written in Visual Basic or Tcl/Tk . This is my interest in being able to produce DLL's, and I would prefer to be able to do it with my favourite C/C++ compiler - namely DJGPP. Morten
