More programs would share DLL if it wasn't asking for trouble like it is currently. Just take MFC or OWL as an example... Quite a few progams use one or the other, both Microsoft and Borland ship them as DLLs, but most programs either install their own private copy or get linked statically to avoid all the trouble that mismatching versions, etc. cause when sharing DLLs (or at least attempting to). Anyways... Christian
