In the Third Generation ANSI C Toolset (IMSD7314a) library functions are
provided to enable dynamic loading and execution of code. These functions
can load either from a file or from a link and use RSC format files. RSC
files are ones which have no bootstrap added to them. They are created
from the 'icollect' tool.

Hope this helps!
