Actually, I don't think the libtool docs explain DLL versioning on windows (the 'c - a' thing). They DO explain about libtool's versioning scheme on UNIX, and if you read that and think about it hard enough you can synthesize the 'c - a' thing, and convince yourself that 'c - a' represents a "binary API compabitibility index" AND that DLLs on windows should be named USING that index, but it ain't obvious. I posted an explanation of the 'c - a' thing -- in this very thread -- on Oct 12. --Chuck
