The binder supports dynamic linking via the use of DLLs. Dynamic linking provides the ability to defer the binding of functions and variables until execution. Binder generated DLLs are program objects with a special control structure to which defines exported functions and data items. DLL-enabled applications can access ("import") these functions and data items during execution. The creation of DLLs and DLL clients requires a language translator that can generate the requisite structures in an output XOBJ or GOFF object module.
