Quick Libraries
 
The QuickBASIC programs in the Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference
use subprograms found in three libraries.  Programs that call the
INTERRUPT or ABSOLUTE subprograms require that QB.QLB be loaded into
the QuickBASIC environment or that QB.LIB be linked with the program.
Programs that call MOUSE must access MOUSE.LIB. Programs that call EGA
must access EGA.LIB.  Combine these libraries, as needed, into a Quick
Library for running the programs in the QuickBASIC environment.  To
link the programs into .EXE modules, list the libraries in the linker
command.
 
The following two commands will combine all the libraries used in
the Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference into a Quick Library named
QBNEW.QLB and a combined linkable library named QBNEW.LIB.  All the
QuickBASIC programs in the book will run when QBNEW.QLB is loaded into
the QuickBASIC environment or QBNEW.LIB is linked with the individual
program.
 
LINK /QU /NOE MOUSE.LIB+EGA.LIB+QB.LIB,QBNEW.QLB,NUL,BQLB45.LIB;
LIB QBNEW.LIB+MOUSE.LIB+EGA.LIB+QB.LIB;
 
You can build a Quick Library and a combined library that contain just
those libraries required for a given program.  For example, several of
the example programs in this book require that QBMOUSE.QLB be loaded
into the QuickBASIC environment.  To create this Quick Library and the
accompanying combined library QBMOUSE.LIB, use the following two commands:
 
LINK /QU /NOE MOUSE.LIB,QBMOUSE.QLB,NUL,BQLB45.LIB;
LIB QBMOUSE.LIB+MOUSE.LIB;
