i am a bit of a slow learner, so forgive this obviously silly question. I have the TOPOS version of PureBASIC and will soon upgrade.
My question is; I see executables and i see libraries and they both have the same name. This means 2DDrawing.pb has an accomponying 2Ddrawing library file, but i see no calling of the Library file in the executable. How come? What is the library file there for then, if no call is made to it?
Thank you in advance.

The .pb's are only example files that show how to use the most important commands of a library.
The librarys, or better: the commands stored in the libraries are linked in the executable at compiletime. All you have to do is use the commands. The PB-Compiler recognises this and does the rest for you, no need to declare the functions as PB knows them already (as long as the libs are all in the appropriate folders).
If you take a closer look at the 2DDrawing.pb file you will see it makes use of lots of 2DDrawing lib commands. Like freedimension says you dont have to do anything to declare that you want to use commands from any lib, you just use them, then they are included automagically into your final exe. 2DDrawing.pb is purely an example on some 2DDrawing commands.
