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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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 following lines are in a text file called RESPONSE:
 
          GRAPHIC
          +CIRCLE -WAVE +WAVE &
          *FLASH
          GRAPHIC.LST;
 
     To use this response file, run LIB with the following command:
 
          LIB @RESPONSE
 
     This is equivalent to the following responses to LIB prompts:
 
          Library name: GRAPHIC
          Operations: +CIRCLE -WAVE +WAVE &
          Operations: *FLASH
          List file: GRAPHIC.LST
          Output library:
 
     The ampersand character (&) continues commands on multiple lines.
 
     This response file tells LIB to perform the following steps:
 
       1. Delete the module WAVE from the library GRAPHIC.LIB.
 
       2. Copy the module FLASH into an object file named FLASH.OBJ.
 
       3. Add the object files CIRCLE.OBJ and WAVE.OBJ as the last two
          modules in the library.
 
       4. Create a cross-reference listing named GRAPHIC.LST.
 
       5. Name the new library GRAPHIC.LIB and save the old library as
          GRAPHIC.BAK, because <newlibrary> is not specified.
