libraries

I read through this a bit and I bet I can give it a go over the weekend. How BBSS (big baller shot caller) would it be to put the file reading functions in library and then write another program to link against it? I'm not sure why that's useful for this example, but it would be pushing my knowledge base a bit.

I still don't understand shared/static libraries. I'm mad because I saw a GREAT overview of the benefits and I didn't save the link. I think a lot of it has to do with when/if parts of the program are loaded into memory.
