SET LIBRARY TO
        [<file name> [ADDITIVE]]

-----------------------------------
Specifies an external library.
-----------------------------------

The SET LIBRARY command is used to open external API routine libraries
written in C or assembly language.  An API (Application Program
Interface) routine library extends the capabilities of the FoxPro
language and user interface.  Once an external API routine library is
open, you may use the API functions as if they were FoxPro functions.
The functions available in the library may be displayed with the DISPLAY
STATUS and LIST STATUS commands.

You may create your own API routine libraries using the optional Library
Construction Kit, or use existing API libraries.  For information on the
creation of an external API routine library, see the API section in the
FoxPro Developer's Guide.

Clauses
-------

<file name>
        <file name> of the API library to open.  FoxPro assumes .PLB extension
for libraries.  If library has extension other than .PLB, you must
include extension with file name.

ADDITIVE
        Open additional API libraries in successive SET LIBRARY commands.

To close all open API libraries, issue command SET LIBRARY TO.
