I am a bit upset with the lack of documentation for the LIB program in Microsoft's C Compiler, Version 6.XX. It gets exactly one page (page 28) which does not really tell you how to even use this program. I ran into trouble compiling the recent distribution of RCS. Apparently the latest distribution of the compiler has a radically different version of the MAKE program (ndmake) than previous versions of the compiler. Does anyone have a manual page for using this program, or perhaps an updated makefile for RCS under MS-DOS? Yours, -- Robert C.

Ditto for NMAKE -- the details are online in QuickHelp. Once you get used to it, the online help is a very fast way to get to the info you want.
