There is no such thing under DOS... This almost would have been my answer as well. But I recently learned http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/board_entry.php?id=17354 that there exists Borland BGI (Borland Graphics Interface) drivers that are arguably equivalent to DLLs (for Borland compilers) as they are separately compiled binaries. So this is not a DOS, but Borland standard. I know of no other example of this.
