Please look at the read.me file and the manual.doc file for information
relating directly to this library and its use.
The original release date was set for 1 Oct 87 for this library but it is
being released early while still in the Beta test stage in order to
prepare for the imminent release of Microsoft C version 5.0 and Quick C.
This means that some of the planned functions ( such as menus and data
entry) have been postponed until a later release ( probably about Jan 88 )
There also remains a slight bug in the background sound routines that will
be corrected in the next release. This release is version 1.00. The next
release will be 1.xx and will be found on boards under the name CTB1xx.ARC
just as this is labled CTB100.ARC. A full update to version 2.00 is
planned for sometime in 1988 and will contain a wide variety of new
functions. Further updates of version 1 are planned in the meantime.
Future releases will identify the target compiler in the last letter. The
next minor release of this version will actually be called CTB1xxT.ARC where
the 'T' is for Turbo C. There will also be an 'M' for Microsoft C and
possibly an 'L' for Lattice if enough users request it. While we feel these
versions will be the most requested we are willing to port the library to
other compilers is the demand is high enough.
We will always support the latest release of the target compiler in the case
of Turbo and Microsoft C. The latest release of this library should follow
within a week the release of a new compiler release.
There are two versions of the manual on this disk. Manual.doc is in
Wordstar format and manual.asc is in ASCII format. The manual.asc file was
created by running the Wordstar version through a conversion program and
consequently has lost all the page formatting etc. No attempt has been made
to restore this in the board version of this manual.
Pass copies of this library to your friends. We hope you enjoy using this
library, it has been an interesting project to date for the author.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
