Message-ID: Date: 30 Aug 90 13:44:12 GMT Sender: news@ucs.adelaide.edu.au Distribution: comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer Organization: Dept. of Stats Pure & Appl. Maths, Adelaide University Lines: 23 This topic MUST have been talked about before but I am a newcomer to this group. How are overlays done exactly (I'd like info on _implementation_ as I know the theory). Can I implement them with purely C code? (ie. do I need assembly code to assist etc?) What compilers support overlays? I have read the Turbo C manual and it does not mention overlay support anywhere. Thanks. -- ______________________________________________________________________________ _ ___ | Email Address: rfrost@spam.ua.oz.au I) I_ | I\ ichard I rost | FidoNet (ADAM LINK BBS): 3:680/805 Richard Frost ---------------------+-------------------------------------------------------- Bewildered Earth Scientist: "How do you re-wire alien equipment like that??"
