There is no magic or extension guessing involved. We have all three examples already in the tree. Of course a Win32 program might load "some.ocx" or a linux program "ncurses.so" but these are platform-specific libs. I'm speaking of core modules and such, where no shared extension should be specified in the source code. > -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] leo
