Obsolete

Libraries and the USE keyword are no longer supported in Gambas, as they never worked very well. Look for the ability to write Gambas components in Gambas sometime after 1.0.

The following is preserved temporarily for historical interest:

---+Libraries
Libraries are programs written in Gambas whose classes may be used by other Gambas programs.  To use a library in your project, you define a reference to it using the [[LangUSE][USE]] keyword and subsequently may refer to it as though its classes were native to the current project.

Gambas will include a number of these libraries for the purpose of providing examples and utilities.

   * [[LibraryUtil][Util]] - common routines for saving configuration between program runs, and other useful features.

_It may be possible to develop components directly in Gambas in the future, so using libraries for that may be useless._
