I am converting a 16 bit DOS application from MSVC to Borland 5.02. The
target for the application is a PC-104 card and it is the brains of a
control system.

When I compiled with the Borland compiler, the compiler ran out of memory. I
am using the command line. My program is very large for a 16 bit program, so
I decided to take all of the functions that I created except for main() and
compile them into their own library.

Command line for this was: BCC -w- -c tf6lib.cpp
then: : TLIB tf6lib.lib +tf6lib.obj

No errors were generated, and tf6lib.lib was created.

Then I created the main file: BCC -w- -c tf6.cpp
Again no problems.

I then typed: TLINK tf6.obj tf6lib.lib

I got a bunch of errors, and it scrolled so fast I don't know what the first
ones were, but the ones on screen were like this:

Error: Undefined symbol _PUTS in library file tf6lib.lib in module TF6LIB

and last error was

Fatal: No program entry point

I have never created a library before, and the problem that I have is that I
haven't found any step by step reference material on how to do this. Again,
my app is a 16 bit DOS application. Any help would be welcome.

Wrong newsgroup. Your question is about the old Borland C++ compiler
in 16 bit mode but it is posted here in the newsgroup for the C++
Builder compiler's command line tools, a compiler that cannot create
16 bit code.

Try changing to Large model and then asking over in
borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp
