The Berkeley guys did NOT invent shared libraries.
Shared libraries as
we know them came originally from Sun, on SunOS 4.x for sure, possibly
on SunOS 3.x. (Larry?) Many commercial vendors adopted the design (Ultrix,
I think, and maybe others) and finally around 4.4 they found their way into
"pure" BSD.
4. 3 may have had them but not in any version we had, so I'd guess not in a major
release, anyway.
