P.S. This is holding up some functionality in the Build utility.

Ok, I see your point. What I do (as you can see in the makefiles for Phobos) is just delete the library and recreate it. Also, to use a response file for the old syntax, include a blank line for the .lst file.

I understand by this reply of yours that ...

(a) The current version of 'lib' cannot replace modules in a library,
and (b) You are not going to change that behaviour.

Yes, I know I can always recreate a library and this is what Build currently does. However, I was going by the documentation for lib that replacing modules is possible, and I was trying to implement that in Build. I will no longer bother trying to do that, as the alternative method of deleting modules first, then running lib again to add them is not palatable. In fact, I'm not so sure that the delete functionality is working either.
