Ohta et al, You entirely miss the point. Your own quote seeks to discuss the use of shared libraries for one user/client/process. The concept of shared libraries is based on the precept that there are several users (multiuser). If an application will be used by several users/clients at one point, you should build your code with shared libraries. If not, build your code without. End of argument. Bill
