So, are you agree that something like ARP library is the way to go?
I agree that SetFunction() is a hack, and like Bart's system Wedges
much better. As for leaving the Library open, that is true, but as
long as the routine is setfunctioned, one must assume that the application
needing it is still around. Maybe we could use wedges, and put a "wedge
identifier" in the handle (xxxBase) so that on a CloseLibrary() call any
wedges that this application had in force would be removed.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
