The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Library Manager for MS-DOS, versions 3.0, 3.04, 3.07, 3.08, 3.1, 3.11, 3.14, 3.17, 3.2, 3.20.010, 3.31, 3.4 
- Microsoft Library Manager for OS/2, versions 3.11, 3.14, 3.17, 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Microsoft Library Manager utility (LIB.EXE) can be used to combine
two libraries into one.

The following is an example of how to add the contents of LIB1.LIB to
LIB2.LIB in a single LIB command:

  LIB LIB2.LIB+LIB1.LIB;

You may also have LIB prompt you for input, in which case the input
and prompts will appear as follows:

  LIB <ENTER> Library name: LIB2.LIB <ENTER> Operations: +LIB1.LIB
  <ENTER>

Note that the .LIB extension is required; otherwise, LIB will assume
LIB1 is an object module.
