I use ALF, and found no problem with it. Ambit's "libcompile" program
correctly converts from uncompiled ASCII .lib files to .alf . Do you
know if there is an advantage to go through CTLF ?

John,
Ambit provides a utility (libcompile) that will convert the .lib to a .alf
file. It's in the $AMBIT_DIR/bin directory. Good luck.

Hi John,
Use : libcompile <inputfile> <outputfile>
where input file is your .lib file and output file is the .alf file. This
will translate the .lib files to .alf files for Ambit... libcompile is
shipped free (well, I'm sure the price is built into the pricing for
BuildGates) with every copy of Ambit.

Hi, John,
There is a utility that ships with BuildGates that will compile a .lib file
into a .alf. It is called libcompile and can be found in the bin directory
under the BuildGates install.
