'Shared library' is a standalone database (.prc) that contains code and
(optionally) other resources. You must explicitly load a shared library at
runtime. Multiple applications can use the same shared library (hence the
name).
Plain old 'library' or 'static library' is a file full of compiled code
(.lib) on your desktop. It gets linked directly into your main app (.prc)
before it ever gets loaded onto the Palm. It's a convenient way to organize
and distribute code but when you link a static library into a project, it is
functionally identical to just having the same functions directly in .cpp/.c
files in the project.
