Lib files are generally distributed by people using Microsoft compilers.
The lib file is a binary file and unfortunately Borland uses a different
format for their lib files.

If you can locate tk80.dll (I have no idea if such a file exists) run
implib.exe which is in your Borland/CBuilder4/bin directory (or similar).
It'll take a dll as input and spit out a lib as output. You can then link
to the lib as usual.

try implib /? for syntax
