I am trying to put all of my old CLIPPER 5.3 files in order so I can update them as needed. i wrote them back in early 90s

Somehow I am unable to locate the LIB.EXE file that I used to make the library files. I tried using the LIB.exe from my Visual C++ directory and i get failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt.

I assume it is because they are 16 bit .OBJ files, is there a backward compatability switch for the newer LIB.EXE for 16 bit or do I have to find my old LIB.EXE on one of my old hard drives on the dusty shelf? Can I buy the old LIB.exe from microsoft? I dont know when the change took place or what version I am looking for. I just know i used it back in 1990.
