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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The Microsoft Library Manager (LIB) creates and maintains standard
     libraries. Standard libraries are collections of compiled or
     assembled object modules that provide useful routines and data
     to a program at link time.
 
     LIB works with several kinds of files:
 
        ■ Object files in Microsoft Relocatable Object-Module Format
          (OMF), based on the Intel 8086 OMF
 
        ■ Standard libraries in Microsoft library format
 
        ■ Import libraries created by IMPLIB
          See: ◄IMPLIB► (in Miscellaneous Utilities Help)
 
        ■ 80286 XENIX archives and Intel-style libraries
 
     Library files usually have a .LIB filename extension.
