Not directly. AFAIK, a DOS .LIB is really just a collection of .OBJ
(OMF) files. So you need something that will translate that to DJGPP/
COFF format (assuming you can't just easily recompile) for use with
FPC/DOS.

Try this (needs HX Win32 emulation if running in pure DOS), but I
dunno if it really works perfectly (haven't really tested it):

P.S. See here for links to newer FPC/DOS snapshots (> 2.0.4):
