I missed the original message, but maybe what you're looking for is dynamic
linking.  You can do that with a Windows application by using a function in a
.dll file.  You can so something similar in an environment like Linux that
supports dynamically linking from the standard libraries.

...Come to think of it, why couldn't that (dynamically-linking standard
libraries) be done in DOS with djgpp?  Does it require asynchronous processes? 
Or maybe it would just be too slow.
