An improved system and method for loading and linking a dynamic link library (DLL) for use of its entities by an application program. During design, implementation, and production implicit linkage is assumed. Upon load and execution by the computer operating system, explicit linking is assumed resulting in unresolved external references. During execution, the application program invokes DLL loading and linking routines to resolve these external references within the application program's memory space. The application program continues execution and seamlessly invokes DLL entities.
