See MICRO:LU300.DOC Is there some special tool that must be employed to pry them open (like "ar" on UNIX for object libraries)? Is that tool available on Simtel-20? Yes, get MICRO:LU300.COM Is there a version of it runs under UNIX? No, not a completely compatible one. The closest thing is MICRO:LAR.C I've been keeping a small public database of messages relating to the Simtel library culled from info-cpm. These messages include comprehensive documents from you and a few other people that describe how to make access to Simtel-20 and what the various file types are, but sadly, I cannot find any description of LBR files among them. A complete description of the official file structure of .LBRs is in MICRO:LUDEF5.DOC. --Keith
