Hi

I'm thinking of writing an application. It would be a nice thing if I could write this application as a bounch of modules.

The program would consist of two parts a klient and modules. There is a small klient program on each workstation. These should be small and fast to load. These klient should then be able to load modules from a remote server, and only the required modules. So the running program shouldn't take up more recurces than absolute needed.

In unix this could "almost" be made entierly by using the dlopen() function. (Not load from a remote server).

Any ideas? Pointers to functions or documentation?
