I'm, trying to find implementations of unix that support a programmatic
interface to the dynamic linker.  The SunOS has this facility.  It allows a
programmer to dynamically load shared objects and access symbols within the
objects.  It takes care of fixup vectors, non-pic code, etc.  The SunOS calls
are:  dlopen, dlsym, dlerror and dlclose.  If you are aware of other OS' that
supply this kind of funcationality please repond via e-mail.  I will post a
summary of all the responses.

Thanks in advance,
