(one that has been registered by calling the \fBTcl_StaticPackage\fR
procedure) by that name; if one is found, it is used.
Otherwise, the \fBload\fR command searches for a dynamically loaded
package by that name, and uses it if it is found. If several
different files have been \fBload\fRed with different versions of
the package, Tcl picks the file that was loaded first.

When a load fails with "library not found" error, it is also possible
that a dependent library was not found. To see the dependent libraries,
type ``dumpbin -imports <dllname>'' in a DOS console to see what the
library must import.
When loading a DLL in the current directory, Windows will ignore ``./'' as
a path specifier and use a search heuristic to find the DLL instead.
To avoid this, load the DLL with
.CS
load [file join [pwd] mylib.DLL]

If the same file is \fBload\fRed by different \fIfileName\fRs, it will
be loaded into the process's address space multiple times. The
behavior of this varies from system to system (some systems may
detect the redundant loads, others may not).
