Hi all,

My compiler didn't have a stdlib.h file so I downloaded a stdlib.zip
from an oak.oakland.edu mirror site.  I opened the zip file and got a
whole directory of various .asm files, an stdlib.a file, an stdlib.lib file,
and a document file.  In the document file it explains how to include the
stdlib.a file but there is nothing about how to use it as an stdlib.h file.
I am just wondering how do I use this file as an stdlib.h file in my
programs?  Or isn't that possible?  If not, then why is this file named
an stdlib file?  

Thanks for any advice.

Why didn't your compiler come with a stdlib.h file?  If you
bought your compiler, talk to the people who made it.  If it is
a shareware/freeware compiler, see if you can find another one
that is more up to date.

The stdlib.h header has been required for standard C since ANSI
standard of 1989.  If the compiler actually comes without this
header, it is a pre standard antique and not worth using if
there is any other choice.

The reason for naming the file stdlib is that they provide
an implementation of the standard library. This is always
supplied with your compiler. You don't need it, unless
you are deeply involved into compiler/library/system
development.

Check your installation again. It is probably in some
INCLUDE directory (/usr/include on UNIX, \<PACKAGE>\INCLUDE
on most DOS systems). If you find it in there, then it's
just a compiler-flag/environment variable to give your
compiler a hint. Check your manual.

you have to add the routines of the new lib to the smallc lib for example
(sc.lib) use the lib utility that come with your compiler
