Hello, group.  I was wondering if anybody could point me toward a web page, or
give me some instructions, about anything like DLL's for DJGPP.  Basically, I
just want an easy way to store a compiled function in an external file, that I
can load at run time.  I don't care how elegant/portable/etc. the solution is,
just something so that I can play around with a little renderer project, and
store shaders in external files, and load them at run time, without having to
either make my own shader compiler system, or recompile/link the entire
renderer.

Thanks for your help!

I was orginally thinking of just compiling the shaders as separate exe's,
loading the exe into memory, and then trying to convince the compiler that
there was a function at that address.  This idea obviously is ill-fated, so I
figured I would check if anybody knows how to do this with DJGPP...
