subject: OS/2 EXEs with shared code?

AL> A DLL used by multiple OS/2 processes, will only be loaded once. Right?

Code: Yes,
Data: Depends on your *.def load options.

 AL> An EXE running in multiple OS/2 processes, like a 
 AL> mailer/BBS in a multi-line situation, will be loaded 
 AL> again for each process. Right?

Code: no (OS/2 will reuse the code segments)
Data: usually (you can specify shared data segments,  but this is
      kinda ugly).


So there is no need to be worried;  os/2 currently works the way you wish.
