A double-barreled question.
First, would someone please point me toward some general [U[?[Li]?nix
discussions. Answers to this may well take care of the second.
Given that the Cygwin pages are a likely focal point for Windows users
just finding their way around *nix, a pointer from the web page such as
"the Cygwin list isn't really a good place for general *nix questions.
Some better places for those are <a></a> and <a></a>.
Second, where can I read up on the design semantics of *nix "shared
object" (.so) libraries, and how they differ from M$ .dll's?
Thanks,
