Andrew Mullhaupt:
   Modern versions of Unix are based on the notion of virtual memory
   objects which are mapped into address spaces, and these maps can be
   shared, and transparently distributed across heterogeneous
   networks.

Unless this has been standardized more than dynamic loading, it's a
nice concept [one which I approve of], but not one that is available
on a wide variety of machines.  Or, all the world is not a sun.
