- Subject: Sharable binaries using math libs?

- Is it possible for someone (ie, not me :-) to make the Portable Math Library
- (pml.olb and pml16.olb) sharable?
-
- As it stands right now, I can make a non-sharable NetPBM suite that wastes
- memory (especially on large pipelines) and doesn't waste disk space (using
- funky link tricks so there's really only one executable with a dozen or
- so names) or a version that isn't so harsh on memory, but wastes loads of
- disk space (each program is standalone; this is what I uploaded to
- atari.archive and ftp.std.com last week).
-
- Ideally, I'd like to make NetPBM sharable, but I can't, since it needs
- the math library for some functions.
-
- This would also be handy for nasty things like POV-Ray that take a long
- time to do a job (especially on an ST!), but often aren't that nasty to
- memory... start a couple, and go on with your real work, or playing
- NetHack or whatever.
-
- Sorry for the rambling; I haven't slept in weeks!
