How to make .lib files & distribute the implementation with the header??

[Ibn Aljazeera]

I just wrote a full application & i want to distribute the implementation only with the header file. I know that it is done by making .lib file(implementation) & .h file..
My question is:
how to make .lib & .h files on MSVC++???(6 & 7)
thanx in advance

I will assume you mean .lib to mean a static library, since .lib is also an import library for a DLL.

In Visual C++ IDE, select a 'add new project', then choose the type to be a "Win32 Static Library". Add your CPP files, compile and you get a .LIB.

Now create a console app, link your static .LIB and include your include directory and write some test cases.
