SUMMARY
The BUILDRTM.EXE utility program for Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.0 and 7.1 can be used to create custom run-time modules. For BUILDRTM to function, you must have the component libraries available.

The component libraries are installed by the Basic PDS 7.0 or 7.1 SETUP.EXE program, but are deleted unless you specify that they be maintained. (You are prompted to delete or keep the component libraries during the setup procedure). You may also manually use UNPACK.EXE to individually unpack most libraries that you may need.



MORE INFORMATION
The following lists show the component libraries needed to use BUILDRTM under real mode (MS-DOS) and OS/2 protected mode (note that all component library files have a .LIB extension):

Real Mode (MS-DOS) Component Libraries
  B70OBJ.LIB    B70OBN.LIB    B70ORN.LIB    B70ROBJ.LIB   B70RORJ.LIB B70ROBN.LIB  B70RORN.LIB   B70ROEJ.LIB   B70ROEN.LIB   B70S.LIB BLIBFP.LIB   EMR.LIB       B70RLN.LIB    B70RCN.LIB

MS OS/2 Protected Mode Component Libraries
  B70OBJ.LIB    B70OBN.LIB    B70ORN.LIB    B70POBJR.LIB  B70PORJ.LIB B70POBN.LIB  B70PORN.LIB   B70POEJ.LIB   B70POEN.LIB   B70S.LIB BLIBFP.LIB   EMP.LIB       B70PLN.LIB    B70PCN.LIB    OS2.LIB To install these libraries, run the Basic PDS 7.0 or 7.1 SETUP.EXE program, select the libraries you want to install (real or protected mode), then specify that you want to maintain the component libraries.

It's important to note that these libraries can be retrieved from the source disks and UNPACKed without using SETUP.EXE. The UNPACK utility is located on the SETUP source disk as are some of the component libraries. The remaining component libraries are located on disks 2-4, depending on the size and density of the source disks.

BUILDRTM uses different libraries depending on the options with which BUILDRTM is invoked. If BUILDRTM is invoked with /Fs (far strings), all the library names with N in the name are replaced with the corresponding library with F in the name. For example, B70RLN.LIB is replaced by B70RLF.LIB. Also, if BUILDRTM is invoked with the /Fpa option, libraries with E in the name are replaced with the corresponding library with A in the name. B70OEN.LIB becomes B70OAN.LIB. These naming conventions are the same as those used with the combined libraries. Also, if you are using Basic PDS 7.0, 70 is in the library name, and if you are using Basic PDS 7.1, 71 is in the library name. For example, B70OBJ.LIB is for 7.0, and B71OBJ.LIB is for 7.1.
