Creation of static libs with MS VC++ Toolkit 2003

Hello,

I'm trying to create a static C library using the Microsoft Visual C++
Toolkit 2003. I'm hoping someone can help me with the necessary command line
options, as I'm not familiar with the VC++ system. I'm compiling my C code
files into object files with a command line similar to this:

cl /c /Tc somefile.c /O2 /Ot /Og /G7

This appears to work correctly, generating somefile.obj. I'm looking at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html
/_core_linker_reference.asp to find information on how to put several object
files into a .lib, but I can't see a way of doing this. The following
command line wants to link my objects into an executable:

link /OUT:somelib.lib somefile1.obj somefile2.obj

which isn't what I want as I get errors and so forth about not being able to
find the main() entry point.
I can't find the switch for library creation. Is there one, or should I be
taking a completely different approach?

Any help appreciated!

Edd
