I would have chosen inc instead of lib
@a740g suggested I swap to something else as well, and after a wee bit of back and forth, and some digging into old memories and documentation, I swapped over to *.QLB.
QB45 supported two different library file formats:
*.LIB -- this was the one I remembered, and an influence on my own use of *.LIB. It, however, was the library which worked off the LINKER.
*.QLB -- this was the other format which QB45 supported, and it's basically the libraries which you could add via the IDE.
So QLB just makes more sense (Quick Library), and it doesn't have the same connections as *.lib has in modern extensions (MSVC and such). So I've swapped these over to QLB extensions and will *hopefully* keep them that way forever more. LOL!
