The error "Error in loading file (xxx.QLB )" occurs when loading a
Quick library into QBX.EXE if the Quick library contains BASIC modules
compiled without the BC /Fs (far strings) option. The BC /Fs option is
needed because far strings are always used in the QuickBASIC Extended
(QBX) environment.

To create a Quick library that is usable in QBX, recompile with the BC
/Fs option and relink (LINK /QU) to make a new Quick library.

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) Version 7.00 for MS-DOS.

The necessity of using the /Fs option to make Quick libraries is
documented on Page 617 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's
Guide." For more information on Quick libraries, see Chapter 19,
"Creating and Using Quick Libraries."
