Thankyou!, we eventually created a .lib file from the object file we had using
TCLIB, then the rest became easy! We have been using borland turbo because of
the nature of the object files provided by Moxa for accessing an RS485 card in
DOS, we needed a borland compiler which could run in Freedos. Pacific which is
with Freedos is much nicer but would not seem to accept the moxa dos header
files.
Its amazing how much faster the command line compiler is than the IDE.
Now we can get on with our simple DMX controller system!
Best wishes
Simon

If you mean TC IDE, then open Project menu and press F1. Then you will
read:
"
In its simplest form, the project file is
just a list of the C source file names that
make up your program.
"
Also, take a look at examples of TC2 - there is, for example, mcalc.prj.

...But if you need command line, just specify required .obj file at TCC
command line between source files. For example, read HELPME!.DOC, especially
next topic:
"
Q. Why does the linker tell me that all the graphics library
routines are undefined?
A. TCC will not search the graphics library unless you tell it to.
You should specify the graphics library on the command line. For
example, to compile BGIDEMO, type
TCC BGIDEMO.C GRAPHICS.LIB<Enter>
