Option
/Q[[UICKLIBRARY]]
The /Q option directs the linker to produce a “Quick library” instead of an executable file. A Quick library is similar to a standard library in that both contain routines that can be called by a program. However, a standard library is linked with a program at link time; in contrast, a Quick library is linked with a program at run time.
When /Q is specified, the exefile field refers to a Quick library instead of an application. The default extension for this field is then .QLB instead of .EXE.
Quick libraries can be used only with programs created with Microsoft QuickBasic or early versions of Microsoft QuickC. These programs have the special code that loads a Quick library at run time.
