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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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 this dialog to create a Quick library from the
currently loaded modules.

The modules for a Quick library can come from single-module
program files, multiple-module program files, or existing
Quick library files.
 
Create a Quick library from single-module program files by
  1. Loading each file with Load File from the File Menu
     (Full Menus only)
  2. Choosing Make Library from the Run menu
 
Create a Quick library from multiple-module program files by
  1. Loading the program into memory
  2. Using Unload File from the File menu to eliminate any
     modules you don't want included
  3. Choosing Make Library command from the Run menu
 
Add modules to an existing Quick library by
  1. Invoking QuickBASIC with the /L option to load the
     Quick library
  2. Using Load File from the File Menu (Full Menus only)
     to add additional modules
  3. Choosing Make Library from the Run Menu to create
     a new library
 
 Tip: You must give the new library its own unique name.
 
Note: QuickBASIC creates .LIB files with the same base name
      as the .QLB files. The .LIB files are used to build
      new Quick libraries from existing Quick libraries.
