Exactly, and it doesn't even have to be a compiled .lib, it could just be a source-library. I do that all the time. I really don't see any reason to think that modularity and code-reuse would require linking to be dynamic. At least certainly not in the general case. > If the size of the code duplication becomes an issue, I'll be to busy > worrying about other things (like not being able to fit my code and data > in a 32bit address space). >
