Hello Steve Nickolas,
I've had ideas for bootstrapping a DOS using a separate IPL - and in

When creating "a (new|first) standard", it's probably a good idea to
look at existing solutions.
Well, this all looks to me like looking for a so

It's not so much a matter of mu
Well, one could also question the point of shared libraries in a
system that doesn't support multitasking.
Dynamic loading has a point in so far as to load binaries based on the
availability of hardware, as in the BGI drivers. Having the code to
support all gfx cards in the exe would be wasteful,

IIRC there was never something like a standard DLL concept, but we
used to use flat binaries for that concept. Back in 1994 or something,
a friend of mine and I wrote something akin to fractint and we defined
a 'fractal driver' for each type. What it basically boiled down to was
typedef'ing a funct

Hey, all! Just a question I've never seen addressed here - or anywhere else,

Was there ever any "official" format for a shared runtime library under MS-DOS?
Windows has .DLL files, Linux has .KO files, and MS-DOS had... what, exactly?
