Hello Guru,
We are using Digital Alpha Unix 4.0d. We need to create a C function to   
be used by an Oracle procedure. I am told by our programmers that the   
Oracle procedure can call only C functions in a shared library .so   
(example libspecial.so). Please help us with:
 - the cc or ld command to create a .so library.
 - anything special that we have to do with the C program.
Is a .so library in Unix equivalent to a .DLL in MS Windows? If not, what   
are the differences?
Also, how can we create an .DLL in MS WinNT using a C compiler on Windows   
such as Borland C++?
Many thanks.
