Select overlay support on the compile options, and tag the file(s) to be overlaid in the project file list (a simplified Make file) and build all. As I recall, TC2.0 didn't support overlays at all. If it did I didn't notice, I didn't need them till recently. Problems? None so far which weren't of my own making. Criticisms? One : Why can't I save the debug list out to a file? retyping them everytime I crash is a real pain. The rest is so well polished that this stands out like the proverbial sore thumb. Did I miss something? I HAVE checked all the yellow/red manuals... Dave E. Disclaimer : no connection etc...
