With Functional Developer, yes. Use LoadLibrary to load the .dll. This
will add any methods to existing generic functions, etc. You can then
use features of that library.

Yes. Not in 'DRM Dylan' but given dynamically loadable libraries as
per the way Functional Developer uses DLL's you can. I do exactly this
in a few projects. I have an abstract base class with implementations
in DLL's. At run time, these DLL's are loaded, as request from an
initialisation file, or selected by the user, and they then
participate in the application. The only non-DRM-dylan construct used
is the LoadLibrary call which loads the .dll given as a filename.

I've given the situation with Functional Developer, a Dylan
development system.
