I should have pointed out that the extension is optional and will default
to .OBJ<g>

The following are the same
    FILE LIB_GEN
    FILE LIB_GEN.OBJ
as are
    LIB LIB_GEN
    LIB LIB_GEN.LIB

Don't know what happens if you have a .OBJ and no .LIB file and do

    LIB LIB_GEN
    - probably get an error from the linker about not finding LIB_GEN.LIB

The following means (ie the lib extension using the FILE syntax) the
everything in LIB is included into the .exe whether 
or not the functions are used.

    FILE LIB_GEN.LIB

The following means only those functions called/used in the app will be
linked into the app.

    LIB LIB_GEN.LIB


I believe I've seen this explained in the Blinker docs, if you want a more
detailed/professional explanation.

IMO using LIB_ in the name of a unit (.prg) is/can be very misleading.
