Dynamic-link library

Dynamic-link library (also written unhyphenated), or DLL, is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. These libraries usually have the file extension DLL, OCX (for libraries containing ActiveX controls), or DRV (for legacy system drivers). The file formats for DLLs are the same as for Windows EXE files – that is, Portable Executable (PE) for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, and New Executable (NE) for 16-bit Windows. As with EXEs, DLLs can contain code, data, and resources, in any combination.

Data files with the same file format as a DLL, but with different file extensions and possibly containing only resource sections, can be called resource DLLs. Examples of such DLLs include icon libraries, sometimes having the extension ICL, and font files, having the extensions FON and FOT.

    Cold And Ugly

    by: Tool

    Underneath her skin and jewelry,
    hidden in her words and eyes
    is a wall that's cold and ugly
    and she's scared as hell.
    Trembling at the thought of feeling.
    Wide awake and keeping distance.
    Nothing seems to penetrate her.
    She's scared as hell.
    I am frightened to.
    Wide awake
    and keeping distance from my soul.
