I thought that os/2 does share code even if it is not in a DLL.
I.e. If I run 4 instances of the same program, only the data is duplicated
while the code is loaded once. This would make DLL's necessary only
when two different programs uses the same code.
The included posting indicates that only DLL's is shared. What is correct?
