Here is the shell script I use to make lint libraries on a variety of
different systems.  I just tested it under SCO 2.3.1 and it seemed to
work just fine.  If the name of your library is mylib.c, just make a
lint source file in mylib.lint by stripping out the bodies of all the
functions and adding "/*LINTLIBRARY*/" at the beginning of mylib.lint.
Then do "mklintlib mylib.lint llibmylib.ln", install the file as
/usr/lib/llibmylib.ln, and to use with a program myprog.c that references
the library, run "lint myprog.c -lmylib".

exit 0							# don't kill make
