Linking RLIB Into Your Applications

   To include any RLIB functions in your application, you must include
   the RLIB library name in your list of libraries when linking.  The
   only requirement is that you must include the Clipper EXTEND.LIB
   library since RLIB makes use of functions in this library.  Also you
   MUST list RLIB BEFORE EXTEND.LIB so the linker will properly pick up
   the routines.  (Apparently, some linkers do not make a second pass
   through the libraries to see if a library that follows one on the list
   calls a routine in a preceding one).


   The syntax for using RTLINK is:

         rtlink FILE yourprog LIB clipper,rlib,extend


   To use PLINK86, type:

         plink86 FILE yourprog LIB clipper,rlib,extend


   To use BLINKER, type:

         blinker FILE yourprog LIB clipper,rlib,extend


   To use MS-LINK, type:

         link yourprog,,,clipper+rlib+extend


   To use TLINK, type:

         tlink yourprog,,,clipper+rlib+extend



             << *** REMEMBER TO LIST RLIB BEFORE EXTEND *** >>


   Dynamic Overlay Linkers

   The RLIB 3.0 library is written entirely in Clipper hence the RLIB
   library is compatible with standard Clipper dynamic overlay linkers
   such as Blinker.  RLIB can be entirely overlaid using the Blinker
   ALLOCATE link script command.
