- You don't want to do that! The easiest and best way to do plug-in code is
- to use the amiga shared library format (ie. xxx.library - although you
- don't have to call it that). We use that for all the modules in
- Photogenics. It's easy to write, easy to call from your code, and the OS
- handles caching them in RAM and flushing them when no longer needed for
- you.
