DLL loading

[Parker]

In a program I am writing, I am going to need to use many DLLs as plugins. I know there have been past issues with DLLs crashing the program because of a shared base address with another. Since plugins can be written by anyone, there will not really be a way to give each one a unique base address. Is there a way that I can ensure the program doesn't crash? Does 2k/XP handle this for me? Will it just have to not run on older operating systems (9x)?

Thanks for replies,
Parker

It's only 9x systems that have problems rebasing certain DLL's.  You'll have to fire up a 98 system to see if your DLL will be rebased by the OS.

Thanks. I don't have anything with 9x on it to test, but it may have to just be incompatible.
