That's what a lot of people think, but I can assure you it *is* Dynamically Loadable Library. When you think about it, 'Dynamically Loadable' is closer to the intended purpose, which is dynamic loading of shared code.
If you'd said 'Dynamically Linkable', then I'd just say thats pretty much the same as 'Dynamically Loadable'.

A little thought goes a long way...



WRONG

DLL An abbreviation for dynamic link library, a file containing a collection of Windows functions designed to perform a specific class of operations. Most DLLs carry the .DLL extension, but some Windows DLLs, such as Gdi32.exe, use the .EXE extension. Functions within DLLs are called (invoked) by applications as necessary to perform the desired operation.
