The .LBR format is an archive format without compression used frequently for
bundling of CP/M program components which are usually compressed before
being archived.  You will want to look for the programs LU, NULU, LGET,
DELBR (or DE-LBR) or LT (Library Typer, also capable of extraction) to
extract files from a LBR archive.  If the files within the LBR archive have
the filespec *.?Q? you may well need the progrum USQ or UNSQUEEZ to
uncompress the component files.  If the files have the format *.?Z? you will
need UNCR or UNCRUNCH to uncompress them.  SIMTEL20 used to have an
exhaustive catalog of CP/M public domain utilities available for ftp.  If
you are in the US, there are a number of bulletin boards which specialize in
CP/M software.  I suggest you contact Jay Sage's BBS at 617-965-7259 for a
good selection.
