                LIBRARY MANAGEMENT and LINKING


     Modifying a library

     For this you will need the Microsoft Library Manager, LIB.EXE

     It is necessary to remove the old object module from the library
     and add the new module.  The following command achieves this.

     From the DOS prompt with LIB.EXE, the Library Manager, in the
     current directory or specified along the path type:-

          LIB PLANET -+example;

          - informs LIB to remove the old module example from PLANET.LIB
          + informs LIB to add the new module example to PLANET.LIB


     Linking

     No doubt many of you will be used to linking programs with
     PLINK86-Plus and probably Microsoft.s Overlay Linker.
     An example is shown below using LINK.EXE and PLINK86-Plus.  Do
     not forget to specify the PLANET and SQL Libraries in addition to
     Clipper and Extend.
