LUE Command
-----------
Purpose: Extract one or more files (members) from an LU or LAR type library.
Format: LUE [d:][path]filename[.ext] [mbrname[.ext]]
Remarks: The library name must be supplied. It may contain a drive
and/or path names, but may not contain wildcards.
If the member name is omitted, all files are extracted.
Wildcards may be used in the member name.
The output file names are taken from the member names.
The date and time of the output file(s) are set to the same
date and time as the input library file, unless they are
stored in the directory entry.
Directory entry format:
0 - status flag
1 - filename in FCB format
12 - offset to data
14 - length of data, 128-byte sectors
16 - creation date, MM-DD-YY
24 - creation time, HH:MM:SS
Examples:
- Extract all members from file TEST.LBR
LUE B:TEST.LBR
- Extract all COM files from file PGM.LBR
LUE PGM.LBR *.COM
- Extract member PROG.BAK from file SOURCE.LBR
LUE C:\STUFF\SOURCE.LBR PROG.BAK
Notes: Written for the IBM PC using DOS 2.0 or later,

LUE duplicates the A and E function of LU. The advantages
of LUE are:
- smaller, so a copy can be kept on the "system" disk
- faster, mucho
- handles paths and wildcards.
- retains input file or member date/time
