DLL usage in RunRev

[Rishi Viner]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for the great tip (below). Do you have any links / info / experience in 
doing this with Linux .so (shared object) files? I would be interested in 
doing this with database drivers to isolate myself from version changes. Any 
help / links appreciated...
