Later and later binding

• “Editor inheritance” binds at compile time.

• Link libraries (.LIB) bind to “components” at link time.

• Dynamic link libraries (.DLL) bind at run time, but need a header at compile time, and path at runtime.

• COM components bind at runtime and may need neither a header, nor a path! (though typelib contains header-like “meta-data”)
