kernel and .dll
-
Over the years i keep hearing the word "kernel", but never really knew what it is. :confused: Could someone please tell me?. Also what is a ".dll" file :confused: One very confused CP user :-O "Lifes a lemon and I want my money back"

A kernel is a seed from a cereal grass, e.g. corn. In computing terms it is the part of the OS responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, etc. A dynamically link library (in Windows typically a *.dll file, in some other OSs' jargon they are called "shared object files") is a library which is linked to application programs when they are loaded or run, rather than as the final phase of compilation as with a static library. This means that the same block of library code can be shared between several tasks rather than each task containing copies of the routines it uses. Kapishé?

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

Not everybody will automatically know what the kernel and DLL's are... Not everybody is born with that information!!! Granted.. I have known for a stupidly long amount of time but I don't see anythign wrong with somebody asking what they are. Doesn't hurt me in any way. :-D Regards, Brian Dela :-)

The only programming experience I have is when my Electronics and Telecommunications course devolved into programming such as the Intel 8085 and the Zilog Z80 for example. Which is basically just assembly. Such fundamentals regarding a "Kernel" and ".dll" are not involved in the area of programming which i have currently experienced. The highest level of programming which I have attempted to date is C, but that was for programming a robot to obtain a basic level of artificial intelligence, but does not require “shared object files” or “_resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security_y” as this programming is all done for a simple DOS based application. Yes, yes, I have to program in DOS, in case some of you didn't read that right in the first place, or just assumed I mistyped it. ;) I was hoping to get more involved in PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) programming, in particular the PIC 16C84 microcontroller. But I just haven't found a good language to use, although the TASM lanuage sounds popular. But finding the time is another factor. -- Peter "Lifes a lemon and I want my money back"

Using MPLAB and the CCS compiler... Very interesting and very fast because I can debug directly on the chip... Don't think you'll be able to do that with the 16C84 as it's not a e2prom [eeprom] chip. Isn't the 16C84 a VU eprom??? I think it is. Regards, Brian Dela :-)
