- This is a DOS/Windows slant. Hope it helps.
-
- .H (header) files generally contain compile time declarations that can
- be used by one or more code modules during compile time.
-
- .L or .LIB (library) static link libraries generally contain link-time
- object code. Otherwise, import libraries contain stubs to dynamic
- link library functions. Libraries are created as the result of a
- compile.
