+>Chapter 5. Libraries and LWAR</H1
+><P
+>LWTOOLS also includes a tool for managing libraries. These are analogous to
+the static libraries created with the "ar" tool on POSIX systems. Each library
+file contains one or more object files. The linker will treat the object
+files within a library as though they had been specified individually on
+the command line except when resolving external references. External references
+are looked up first within the object files within the library and then, if
+not found, the usual lookup based on the order the files are specified on
+the command line occurs.</P
+><P
+>The tool for creating these libary files is called LWAR.</P

+><P
+>The binary for LWAR is called "lwar". Note that the binary is in lower
+case. The options lwar understands are listed below. For archive manipulation
+options, the first non-option argument is the name of the archive. All other
+non-option arguments are the names of files to operate on.</P
