The cygwin list isn't a really good place for general *nix questions but lets start a nice long thread on where the best place for general *nix questions might be. Nyuh uh. Just typing "general unix questions" into google should be more than enough to get you started. >Second, where can I read up on the design semantics of *nix "shared >object" (.so) libraries, and how they differ from M$ .dll's? "*nix" shared libraries have various flavors so the question is too broad. However, linux and many other unix variants use the ELF format for their executables/shared libraries. So, doing a google search for "dll ELF differences" would probably be instructive. -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
