SUMMARY

In the "Microsoft Mouse Programmer's Reference" from Microsoft Press, the explanation on Page 213 of how to create a quick library for QuickBASIC to use in the environment (that is, QB.EXE) is incorrect and produces an "Invalid format" error message on loading that library.

The incorrect statement reads as follows:

   "LINK /QU MOUSE.LIB+QB.LIB,QBMOUSE.QLB,NUL,BQLB45.LIB;"

To properly execute the command, the statement should read as follows:

   "LINK /QU QB.LIB+MOUSE.LIB,QBMOUSE.QLB,NUL,BQLB45.LIB;"
