There are no DLLs on the Palm. You can build shared libraries, which
are code resources with a special entry point. The OS allows calls into
the resource by mapping system traps to entries in a library dispatch
table. See the SampleLib project included with CodeWarrior for details
on setting up your own library -- but, beware that there are
restrictions on the format of the function calls -- they must have a
initial parameter which is used to map the instance of the call to the
library. This prevents them from being useful as C++ method calls.
