If a comma instead of a plus (+) sign is used on the LIB utility
command line to indicate an additional object filename, the following
will occur:

1. The .LIB file will be created without error but will not contain
   the additional .OBJ file.

2. The additional .OBJ will be interpreted as the .LST (listing) file
   and thus be overwritten.

3. An "L2029: unresolved external" error will occur at link time.

This information applies to the LIB.EXE utility when used with any
supported Microsoft language, such as Microsoft QuickBASIC versions
4.00, 4.00b, and 4.50, Microsoft BASIC Compiler versions 6.00 and
6.00b for MS-DOS and MS OS/2, and Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS and MS
OS/2.
