A question: what exactly are these LBR (library?) files?
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.
