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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     If you do not specify all the expected input on the command line
     and do not end the line with a semicolon (;), LIB asks you for the
     missing input by displaying prompts:
 
     LIB Prompt          Field
 
     Library name:       ◄<oldlibrary> Field► and ◄<options> Field►
     Operations:         ◄<commands> Field►
     List file:          ◄<listfile> Field►
     Output library:     ◄<newlibrary> Field►
 
     LIB waits for you to respond to each prompt before displaying the
     next prompt. The responses correspond to the command-line fields.
 
     LIB assumes a default for any field left blank (except for
     <oldlibrary>). A semicolon after any field terminates the command;
     LIB assumes defaults for any remaining fields.
 
     If you enter a library name and follow it immediately with a
     semicolon, LIB performs a consistency check on the library and
     takes no other action.
 
     You can extend the operations line to a new line by specifying an
     ampersand (&) after a module name or filename; do not put the
     ampersand between an operator and a name. LIB repeats the
     Operations: prompt, allowing you to type more operations.
