Dynamic Loading

Well, SunOS terminology, anyway; current BSD releases don't have that
flavor of dynamic loading.  If the original poster has a system that
*does* have that flavor of dynamic loading (SunOS 4.1 - 4.0 has most of
it, but doesn't have the run-time part; System V Release 4; AIX 3.x;
Apollo Domain/OS; possibly others), he probably wants to use that
instead of dinking around with "ld -A" and one of the large collection
of routines to load "ld -A"ed files....
