Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

Use to create a Quick library from currently loaded modules.

Use the /S option if your program contains many strings and
generates an "Out of Memory" error when you compile it.
The default for the /S option is OFF.

                     └─ Creates a Quick library and
                        returns to DOS.
 
All Make Library options are written to QBX.INI when you
exit QBX and reloaded when QBX is started.
 
Note: Make Library always uses the 80x87 Emulator Math
      option (/FPi) and the Far String option (/Fs).
 
The modules for a Quick library can come from single-module
program files, multiple-module program files, or existing
Quick library files.
 
To create a Quick library from single-module program files:
    ■ Load each file with Load File from the File menu.
    ■ Choose Make Library from the Run menu.
 
To create a Quick library from multiple-module files:
    ■ Load the program into memory.
    ■ Use Unload File from the File menu to eliminate any
      modules you don't want included.
    ■ Choose Make Library command from the Run menu.
 
To add modules to an existing Quick library:
    ■ Invoke the QBX environment with the /L option to load
      the Quick library.
    ■ Use Load File from the File menu to add additional
      modules.
    ■ Choose Make Library from the Run menu to create a new
      library.
