Larry,
I've been meaning to try something myself and haven't gotten around to it.
You can add the shared library as a binary resource to the prc. You can
then lock the resource and copy the shared library out into its own prc.
The next step that I'm hoping will work (but haven't yet tried) is to use
DmRemoveResource to remove the shared library from the application prc. I
fear DmRemoveResource might return dmErrReadOnly, but until I try I won't
know. If you've tried this or will in the future, let me know if it works.

simple test)
