View Ref-File11.5.18.1  What are shared libraries?                              TOS

Usually libraries with frequently used procedures are collected in 
their own object module and then linked with several programs during 
compilation. In that case each program receives a copy of the library, 
which is integrated firmly into the PRG file. On the other hand, 
shared libraries exist as separate files only once on the hard disk 
and can be used by several programs, even simultaneously.
