- Yes, IBM ship LIB.EXE with the workframe but the toolkit and workframe are
- seperate products. I just have the toolkit - I don't need the workframe and
- they both cost ~$80. I don't need the the Workset since I'm using the toolkit
- just fine with gcc/2. All I'm missing is a LIB program, so I'm working on
- writing one now - the format of a LIB in DOS and OS/2 are the same, the
- object files are different but that doesn't concern me since gcc/2 creates
- those just fine. I am having some problems understanding the hashing
- algorithm used in the LIB dictionary. Does anyone know of a Public Domain DOS
- LIB program with source? That would probably just need a recompile with
- gcc/2.
