Subject: What exactly are shared libraries?
To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu

Greetings all,
    I must plead ignorance - what are shared libraries?  Having only worked  
on a UNIX system that did not use them, I have no idea what the term means.
Here is your big chance to educate me out of my ignorance.   I assume that
they are a GOOD THING, but I have no idea why.  
    Since I'm asking questions, I might as well ask another.  I'm not very
up on graphics and in fact have never used the DJGPP graphics routines.
Would anyone care to explain to me what VESA graphics are as opposed to
what I guess you could call "normal" graphics?  What advantages/limitations
does VESA have?  What does "VESA" stand for, if anything?
    Thanks for any input on the subjects you can give.
