SUMMARY
=======
Libraries are reference counted and remain resident in memory until they cease
to be referenced.
When a task module is started and is dynamically linked to the library, the
reference count is incremented by 1 (one). When the task module is terminated,
the reference count is decremented by 1 (one).
Two functions, LoadLibrary() and FreeLibrary(), affect the reference count.
LoadLibrary() increments the reference count by one while FreeLibrary()
decrements the reference count by one.
