a file needs to be written with the names of the individual entries in 
the order found. "C" libraries must be in a specific order, re the order 
they are searched for needed routines will cause other parts of the 
library also to be loaded. It is a one pass operation.

That's the file given to OS9GEN which puts the library  back together.
