There is a librarian program that comes with MS-DOS, but it isn't
distributed with PC-DOS.  I don't know of any legitimate way to buy a
copy.  The format of libraries and of .OBJ files is apparently the
standard INTEL 8086 format (anyone know the right INTEL document to
buy?).

It looks to me like IBM and Microsoft are trying to make it hard on
third party compiler and library developers by suppressing these
things.
