Hi Willie,

Most C implementations include a library tool which is used to
build and modify libraries.  The name and use of the tool varies
with different compilers and operating systems.  On the PC, for
example, Microsoft compilers come with a library tool named lib.
 Borland compilers come with tlib.

Consult the documentation for your compiler for the name of the
tool and how to invoke it to do what you want, and/or post this
question to a newsgroup which deals specifically with your
platform or compiler.

Jack
