HELP !!
I have been trying to learn the appropriate usage of the Lib 
utility in microsoft c 4.0.  I have created a set of subroutines
which manipulate complex numbers using the structure defined in 
math.h (structure { double x,y; };).  I have used the subroutines
as source code in an include file named cmath.h and stuck the file
in directory \include.  Now, I wish to combine the cmath.h object
code with the library(ies) in \Lib.  

So far, I have separated each subroutine (e.g. cadd.c, csub.c, ...)
and compiled them separately with the command msc /AL.

I have used Lib to create a library called cmath.lib which contains
(I think) all of my object code.  I looked at cmath.lib with pctools 
saw each subroutine name in the library.

I also took math.h, removed all of MSC function names, and edited
in all of the function names I have created
into math.h and removed two of the structure declarations that will
be redundant when including math.h. (I assume that the user will also
include math.h) I renamed my edited math.h to cmath.h.

I put cmath.h in \include, cmath.lib in \lib and local directory.
When I cl /AL prog.c cmath.lib  I get
invalid object module
cmath.lib pos:1 Record type : F0

What do I need to do to make the cmath.lib file and include file?
I am not a hacker, so be gentle and explicit.

I prefer e-mail, but this may be of general interest.
