That's QuickBASIC, or QB. QBASIC comes with DOS 5 and does
not include the compiler.

First, you can't include a QLB into a LIB. If what you want
to do is create a QLB  _from_  your LIB and the QB.LIB,
then do:

 C>link /qu YOURLIB.LIB+QB.LIB,THIS.QLB,nul,BQLB45.LIB;
  (then do a C>QB /Lthis.qlb)

If you want to link to a stand-alone EXE then:

 C>link main.obj+x.obj+y.obj,prgname.exe,nul,YOURLIB.LIB + QB.LIB;

main.obj is the main module; other .OBJs follow if used. At
the Libraries: prompt just add in the QB.LIB to whatever
other libraries that you're using.  Check the manual on how
to use LINK.EXE. Check out the README files, too.

Ask your sysop to get the QUIK_BAS echo and BASIC7 echo. He
won't unless you ask him.
