A module-definition file, used by LINK.EXE, describes the name,
attributes, exports, imports, and other characteristics of an
application or library for MS OS/2 (or Microsoft Windows). This file
is required for dynamic link libraries (DLLs) that run under MS OS/2
(and for Microsoft Windows applications and libraries).

Note that Microsoft BASIC Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b and
Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) Version 7.00
cannot make Microsoft Windows applications or libraries. These
products can only make OS/2 applications.

For more information about the module-definition file used by LINK,
see Page Update 39 in the "Microsoft CodeView and Utilities: Software
Development Tools for MS OS/2 and MS-DOS: Update" manual.
