- The .LBR format is an archive format without compression used frequently for
- bundling of CP/M program components which are usually compressed before
- being archived. You will want to look for the programs LU, NULU, LGET,
- DELBR (or DE-LBR) or LT (Library Typer, also capable of extraction) to
- extract files from a LBR archive. If the files within the LBR archive have
- the filespec *.?Q? you may well need the progrum USQ or UNSQUEEZ to
- uncompress the component files. If the files have the format *.?Z? you will
- need UNCR or UNCRUNCH to uncompress them. SIMTEL20 used to have an
- exhaustive catalog of CP/M public domain utilities available for ftp. If
- you are in the US, there are a number of bulletin boards which specialize in
- CP/M software. I suggest you contact Jay Sage's BBS at 617-965-7259 for a
- good selection.
