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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Syntax:  +name
 
     The add command (+) adds an object module to a library or combines
     two libraries. The new modules are added to the end of a library.
 
     Adding an Object Module to a Library
 
     Specify the name of the object file immediately after the plus
     sign (+). You can specify a pathname with the filename. If you
     omit the extension, LIB assumes an .OBJ extension.
 
     LIB uses the base name of the object file as the name of the
     object module in the library. For example, if the object file
     B:\CURSOR.OBJ is added to a library file, the name of the
     corresponding object module is CURSOR.
 
     Combining Two Libraries
 
     Specify the name of the library to be added to the <oldlibrary>
     file immediately after the plus sign. You can specify a pathname
     with the filename. You must include the extension (usually .LIB);
     otherwise, LIB looks for a file with an .OBJ extension.
 
     The library being added still exists as a separate file; LIB
     copies the modules without deleting them.
