It came with my copy of Windows 98 it is in the dir \windows\system dir
and is called win.tlb

I imagine there possibly might be restrictions on the .tlb file itself,
but just like creating a .lib or lib*.a file from a DLL for a compiler,
there should be no restrictions on a file produced from a tlb.

Microsoft specifically states they created type libs to allow tools to
bind to COM objects in a non-language specific fashion.
