Subj : Questions on compiling and using a library

I am using BC5.02 and would like some help in compiling
a group of functions into a library.  My method now is not
efficient, and I would like to improve it.

Consider a Utility library "Utils.c" which
includes functions f1 and f2.  Function f
would like to make use of f1, but does not
need f2.

Code for Utils.c:
-------------------------------------------------

int f1 (int x)
{
 return 2*x;
} 
 
int f2 (int x)
{
 return x**2;
} 
-------------------------------------------------
Right now, I am using the following method to 
include Utils.c:

Code for f.c:
-------------------------------------------------
#include "Utils.c"

int f(int x)
{
 return f1(x);
}
-------------------------------------------------

This method produces an executable which includes 
the unnecessary function f2.

Can some one explain how to:

1. Compile Utils.c into a library of functions
   using the IDE.
2. Add the appropriate nodes to the Project
   tree so that when function f.c is compiled
   and linked, it only contains the required 
   function f1?

Thanks,

tazzi.
