- The 1991 Dallas Winter Usenix Conference proceedings contains a
- paper entitled "Program Loading in OSF/1" which we (Larry Allen,
- Harminder Singh, Kevin Wallace and Melanie Weaver) presented on
- OSF/1 shared libraries. This describes the shared library scheme
- employed in quite some detail. If you are looking for details of
- the implementation you want to get hold of an OSF/1 documentation
- set (there is a full chapter on the loader and shared library
- internals in one of the books, but you may require an OSF/1 source
- licence for that).
