I have Turbo C, but none of the documentation that goes with it, and I can't figure out how to use the Librarian (tlib.exe). Could someone please explain it's functions to me? Befor you ask, yes, I do know that if you just type tlib with no parameters, it gives you a help screen. I don't find the help particularly helpful. So could someone please educate me, through private e-mail, please? Specifically, I would like to know if I can use TLIB to create my own libraries of functions, and how I would do that. Thanks, Steve L Vissage II svissag@hubcap.clemson.edu

I'm sure that if you are the legal owner of the compiler, Borland would cheerfully send you the manuals. My boss lost all his manuals in a fire, and Borland, after verifying his proof of purchase, sent out the manuals without a complaint. -- *%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%* John Passaniti - via FidoNet node 1:260/230 UUCP: ...!rochester!ur-valhalla!rochgte!201!John.Passaniti INTERNET: John.Passaniti@f201.n260.z1.FIDONET.ORG *%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*%*

Hello, everyone. I'm the author of the original post about turbo c. >Gee, I REALLY hope I can help you... > >You're really an a$$hole, posting a message to a world-wide newsgroup, >the subject of which is the C language (NOT SPECIFIC C COMPILERS OR >LINKERS), publicly stating that you are having a problem using pirated >software. I do not recall saying that. What I said was, "I have Turbo C, but none of the documentation that goes with it." While this is not entirely accurate, it is much easier than an honest-to-god explanation, but if you want one, read on. I don't have a PC. The Turbo C belongs to my Uncle. When I discovered he had it, I happened to be trying to learn C. I started using his TC. He has all the electronic documentation, which I have read, but it doesn't explain TLIB well enough. As I explained in e-mail to someone who was nice enough to ASK if I had a pirated copy before he either helped me or flamed me, I didn't want to write to you and say, "I read it, but I'm too damn stupid to figure it out." I was in a hurry, I said I didn't have ANY documentation. What about the printed docs, you say? Me: Do you have the manuals for Turbo C? Unc: Were there any? Me: I'm sure there were. Unc: Sorry, it's been a while since I bought it. But I must have them, I didn't throw anything away. Me: Can I use them? Unc: Sure. You wanna poke around, see if you can find them? At this I declined. If you saw my Uncle's house, you would, too. He's a pack-rat, and it would take much more time than I have to devote to it. So, I turn to the great and good comp.lang.c of Internet for wisdom and guidance. >If you don't find the god-damned help screen helpful, go out and >purchase the software and read the documentation that comes with it! I thought I'd better explain myself before some of that wisdom and guidance called the FBI. It took me 20 lines to explain why I don't HAVE the documentation, 20 lines of completely wasted bandwidth and reading time to anyone NICE ENOUGH TO HELP! I still think "but not the documentation" was, on the whole, better. >I hope this 'educates' you. Ditto. >Judging from your display of common sense, >it may take a while for this to sink in. On this one, I'm afraid I can't complain. It never occurred to me that I'd be accussed of pirating. I appologize to anyone who need an appology. (Those being the polite, helpful, and scholarly, not the flamers.) I would like to thank those who sent me useful information. You know who you are. To the individual who wrote the above, which was by far the most vicious flame I received, I can only thank you for doing it privately. I will reciprocate by leaving your name off this reply. There, is everyone happy? Steve L Vissage II
