- Quoth geoff@tyger.Eng.Sun.COM (hmmm - sounds familiar :-) (in <1hai4qINN31q@seven-up.East.Sun.COM>):
- # In the DOS (and Unix) worlds, an API is implemented by
- #statically linking a library which translates the API calls into the
- #internal interface used by the underlying system.
-
- Minor nit: not all Unix systems use static linkage. For example, the one
- I'm typing into uses dynamic shared libraries for all of this stuff....
-
- Must be time to go home and consume festive beverages. It's that
- time of year.... or as a colleague forwarded to me:

- Festivity Level 1: Your guests are chatting amiably with each
- other, admiring your Christmas-tree ornaments, singing carols around
- the upright piano, sipping at their drinks and nibbling hors
- d'oeuvres.
-
- Festivity Level 2: Your guests are talking loudly -- sometimes
- to each other, and sometimes to nobody at all, rearranging your
- Christmas-tree ornaments, singing "I Gotta Be Me" around the upright
- piano, gulping their drinks and wolfing down hors d'oeuvres.
-
- Festivity Level 3: Your guests are arguing violently with
- inanimate objects, singing "I can't get no satisfaction," gulping down
- other peoples' drinks, wolfing down Christmas tree ornaments and
- placing hors d'oeuvres in the upright piano to see what happens when
- the little hammers strike.
-
- Festivity Level 4: Your guests, hors d'oeuvres smeared all over
- their naked bodies are performing a ritual dance around the burning
- Christmas tree. The piano is missing.
