    Hi All(?),
    I have a need to build a library for Clipper 5.3.
    Any idea where I can get a copy of LIB.EXE ?
    I already have Borland TLIB.EXE but, I have no idea how to use it.

    TIA

    OK, figured out ow to use tlib and I now have a library file that contains a number of errors.. :-(
    Does anybody know how to successfully compile GRUMP.LIB for Clipper 5.3 ?

    Not at all sure it will work for Clipper 5.3. Someone emailed how to do it... 21 years ago:

    Saw the link myself.

    21 years is a long time.. Seems that nothing is forever, except some of my old software.. <G>

    Managed to (finally) get the LIB to compile without errors but, I had to pull in OBJ files from several sub-dirs to do it.
