Actually, Linux and other unix-like OSs have DLLs, though maybe not
normally called by that name.  In 1988 (ten years ago) I read a manual
for SunOS version 3.something and it described DLLs.  That was before I
heard of Microsoft Windows.     For Linux and most other unixes, the
resulting DLL files are named not like wonderful.dll but like
libwonderful.so.   

I have used isosurfaces on Linux, and it was easy, though I don't see
how a non-programmer could use it. 

What I don't know is which OSs *don't* support DLLs (by any name)?

I have some thoughts on implementing isosurface w/o any kind of DLLs -
see the programming newsgroup.
