[fpc-pascal] Shared memory on various OSes

[Mark Morgan Lloyd]

When a DLL/so is loaded dynamically by multiple program instances, are 
globals shared or would this require explicit use of OS-level shared memory?

The application is emulating a region of scratchpad memory (File Protect 
Memory) used by hardware in an obsolete computer (Burroughs B5700). This 
provided the locking that allowed multiple computers to share a common 
disc system.
