IIRC you can import particular symbols from DLL (functions) too.
But really, DLL is a Windows term, DSO is Unixish. They differ
mostly in the fact that DLL exports only specified functions
whereas DSO exports all, but I'm not sure whether it has to be
always so.

Try to use the proper term please - it's similar to shell x command.com
:-)
(or directory x folder, he he he :-)))
