There is now available an MSDOS compatible librarian (called PolyLibrarian) from Polytron Corp, a new company in Hillsboro, Oregon. It does everything you would expect from a librarian. Besides that it has a nice user interface and a well written manual. Included with the manual is comprehensive documentation about the library and object module formats (a la Intel), and also about the command grammar recognized by PolyLibrarian. You can rename object modules, public names within a module, and delete non-essential record types from modules, thereby reducing the amount of disk space needed to store your libraries. You can also examine and change the modules in existing libraries. There are three "modes" of operation -- command-line, interactive, and command file; the three modes may be combined in useful ways. It costs $99 (ninety-nine dollars for those mailers that like to eat dollar signs). Polytron is not on the network (yet), so call or write them at: Polytron Corporation PO Box 787 Hillsboro, Oregon 97123 503-648-8595. For orders call 800-547-4000; however, there is no technical staff at the toll free number, so they cannot answer any hard questions.
