I've just started using C++ so I still shaky, but I've run into an anomaly
that I just can't explain.

I've created a couple of classes that use a static instance of the class to
ensure that the class is initialized before any other instances are created.

Anamoly:

It Works ! :-)

I link the objects modules directly without placing them in a library.  The
constructors are called, and everything works fine.

It Doesn't Work :-<

Using ZorLib, I create libraries containg the object modules. I link them in
using MS-Link or BLink and ... the static constructors are never called! Why?
