An error will occur if the LIB environment variable is improperly set
using a forward slash (/) instead of a backslash (\) in the SET line
in DOS.

The following line is incorrect:

SET LIB=C:/LIB

The following line is correct:

SET LIB=C:\LIB

QuickBASIC Version 3.00 generates the LINK "unrecognized switch"
error message when this problem occurs.

6.00 and 6.00b for MS-DOS and OS/2, and Microsoft BASIC PDS Version
7.00 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 generate the LINK error message L1002
"Unrecognized option name" when this problem occurs.
