Subject:	Re: Making libraries

.lib files are what dos compilers use..  djgpp uses .a for libraries..

You can make a .a using the "ar" program and "ranlib" program...
Anyway, #include'ing something does not automatically link in
some library for you in the linking stage...  it just
copies everything in that .h file at the point where the #include
directive is, as if it was actually pasted in that .c file...

linking must be done by you with a -lmyown for linking in libmyown.a... etc.
