The statistical language 'S' from AT&T has a dynamic loading functionality. It seems to work for the most part (in tests atleast), but there are some limitiations and some requirements for specific load time options, etc. I can slam together some code fragments which encompass that part of the S language if enough people show interest. But I cannot answer detailed questions - I don't have the background. - Scott -- Scott Presnell +1 (415) 476-9890 Pharm.
