Adding LBR files to Net Express DLL Projects 1

[rustym]

I need to add a Micro Focus Net Express-supplied file, cobintfn.obj, to a DLL project I am working on. I think this OBJ is in the Run-Time Library file cobcli.lbr. I have added this LBR to my project pool, but when I try to add the LBR to the DLL I get an 'information message box' saying "One or all of the selected files cannot be added to a packaging file. This may be because they are automatically generated dependencies such as an Object Cobol Class." Can anybody shed some light on this for me?

I don't think you will find OBJ files in LBRs, they normally contain GNTs. The COBCLI.LBR has something to do with Command Line Interface (CLI) if I remember correctly. Can't remember whether the MFFINDER command is in NetExpress but if it is it allows you to see the contents of a LBR file.

Thanks for the reply Clive. I looked into this a bit and found this:

2.3.1.22 File Finder (Mffinder)
Utility to search multiple directories for a specified file or files.

Available in:
Workbench V3.4, Workbench V4.0.

Net Express:
Not available.

Use in future:
The dir command in Windows 95 and Windows NT V4.0 provides all the facilities that Mffinder does (use dir /s to search subdirectories), except that it does not look inside .lbr files. There is no facility for this, but .lbr files are not used much in Net Express.
