I wish to make a library file (somefile.a) encompassing a palette I just  
designed.  What command do I use?  I could not find anything mentioned in  
the QA section on this topic.

Thanks in advance.

Read the manual pages for ar(1).

One of the options may look like below:

	ar qv name.a obj1.o obj2.o

In addition to "ar" you may need to use the ranlib(1) for random access
to the library, for example:

	ranlib name.a

and lorder(1) to improve the order of the objects in the
library.

	-Z.

Because your library file includes a palette data, you have to use 'ld'
with '-r' option instead of 'ar' command. If you create a library with
'ar' command, the message something like 'class not loaded' will appear
when app runs.

Suppose you create 'bar.a' library from 'foo{1,2}.m' files:

        cc -c foo1.m -o foo1.o
        cc -c foo2.m -o foo2.o
        ld -r foo1.o foo2.o -o bar.a
