As far as I know you cannot use .LIB files with DJGPP - they just don't work
due to the fact that the DJGPP linker (?) is not designed for the library
file (LIB) file format - it is used to COFF object files or a library (.a)
of COFF object files. To get it to work with DJGPP, you need (I think!) to
get the source (which is not available, right? commercial stuff - hate it!)
and recompile the source into DJGPP compatible .O files. These can then be
linked and called, and you can probably get it to work along with RSXNTDJ or
something.
