I suppose I _could_ implement DOS DLLs for DJGPP, but I would rather
concentrate on more important tasks... and you're right, I probably don't
need shared libs if I distribute my program in a single EXE (I don't use
that many lib functions anyway). It must be a pure psychological thing: I
look at the size of my EXE and freak out right away. Somehow it doesn't
feel that bad when I freak out later in the second case as I stumble over
a lib that takes much more space than my original EXE because I was only
using a small # of lib functions.
