Note that, on *nix systems, shareable libraries can be specified directly

He doesn't care about VMS.  STOP FEEDING HE TROLL!!!!!

 I think that Arne may be incapable of that.  He seems unable to
refrain from engaging, and clearly asking him to stop for the
benefit of other readers has been ineffective thus far.
 Perhaps the best thing is to just plonk any part of a thread
where someone responds to the troll, whether the responder is
Arne or anyone else.  I have no reason to believe that asking
Arne again is going to yield a different result.

You are free to plonk all the threads you want to plonk.
And you are also free to post about about plonking this and that.
I would recommend that you do not post about it as it is
useless content for other.
Except if you run a VMS based newsreader and need help on
how to plonk. That would of course be a totally relevant topic.
But I have a strong feeling that is not the case.
But maybe consider this: when people read these threads
in 10 or 20 or 30 years, then what do you think people
will find most useful:
A) your rant(s) about Lawrence and talk about plonking
B) this subthread covering topics like: syntax for linking
    shareable images vs syntax for linking with shareable images,
    use of CLI$PRESENT return code to distinguish between
    qualifier on verb vs on parameter, difference between
    SYS$PIPE and SYS$INPUT when using PIPE command
?
