[Ban vi!]  When using two function libraries the Microsoft compiler
manual says to set the LIB environment variable to include both
paths separated by a semicolon.  But when one tries to 
SET LIB=\C\LIB;\C\OTHERLIB DOS (as usual) treats the semicolon
as a command separator and rejects the second part.  Is this
another Microsoft linker feature, or is there some way to set
up the LIB variable (from the DOS command line) as required?
