- When I open a shared disk library, is the entire library loaded into RAM, or
- just the functions used? Is there some way I can "hold back" loading a fuction
- to RAM until it is actually used? I want to make quite a few small libraries,
- each with their own preferences setting routines. The simplest way for me to
- do the prefs would be to include it in the library, but since many small
- libraries will be loaded, and the prefs-setting only used a couple of times
- *ever*, I don't really want to waste 10-15k RAM for each library just for a
- nice GUI prefs-setting. So, will I have to make little prefs programs for each
- library, or is there some way I can delay loading the gui stuff into memory
- until it is used?
- I use SAS/C to create the libraries.
