[Andrew Leonard]

Hi,
Does anyone have a view on whether the the default AIX suffix should 
change to ".a"?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently System.mapLibraryName(userLibName)returns ".so" as the library 
suffix on AIX, however the default shared library suffix on AIX is 
actually ".a". Should the System.mapLibraryName(userLibName)default suffix 
be changed to align with the AIX default?
Thanks
Andrew
