Message-ID: <1510@wet.UUCP> Date: 9 Sep 90 07:14:13 GMT Reply-To: naga@wet.UUCP (Peter Davidson) Distribution: na Organization: Wetware Diversions, San Francisco Lines: 7 [Ban vi!] When using two function libraries the Microsoft compiler manual says to set the LIB environment variable to include both paths separated by a semicolon. But when one tries to SET LIB=\C\LIB;\C\OTHERLIB DOS (as usual) treats the semicolon as a command separator and rejects the second part. Is this another Microsoft linker feature, or is there some way to set up the LIB variable (from the DOS command line) as required?
