Hello,

  I just completed writeing a password object ( sort of - testing now ).  I
Have a question though.  The object is declared in a unit.  The unit is
declared as overlay-able.  What happens a runtime?  The unit does not declare
a variable of type PasswordObj - that is left up to the calling program.  Will
TP place the code for the methods in the overlay buffer, or will the code be
bound in a way that will prohibit this?  If the code is abandoned, what will
happen to the data?  Will in cease to exist ( I doen't see how if the main
program reserves the space ) ?

Any help, or comments welcomed,

tom
