Q#1: Gcc, Java, and dlls. Using Mumit's recommendations and others I was
 able to create a dll with all my JNI calls and nm confirms that they are
 there. However when I try to open the DLL from Java I get:
 Error: error: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no libjtoc in shared
 library path
 I do have the directory in which libjtoc.dll resides in the PATH
 environment variable.
 On the Sun and HP one deletes the 'lib' prefix to the libjtoc. I
 have tried it both ways on the PC - both failing similarly.
 Java code snippet looks like:
 String libname = "libjtoc";
	 try {
	 System.loadLibrary(libname);
		 } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError Err) {
		 gutil.errorMsg("error: " + Err);
 return;
	 }
 Suggestions to fix this?
Q#2: When trying to link a couple of other static libraries into the dll for
 which I don't have source I get a number of compile error messages 
 complaining about:
 undefined reference to "_imp__<some function>"
 Where <some function> includes:
 free
	 fprintf
	 printf
	 malloc
	 strncpy
	 etc....
 What could be causing this? The libraries include C and C++ code.
Q#3: I assume that Java JNI requires a relocatable DLL. Is that correct?
Any help on any of these questions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
