*SIGH* yes, and Multics had them long before VMS or UNIX or any of a
number of other OSes did.  That's the whole point of many of the remarks
here; there apparently exist some people who think AT&T or Sun invented
shared libraries (or any of 100 other features) - apparently, they have
no sense of history and think OS history started with UNIX (see the
subject line...).
