Question and Answer Database QNA :Do Overlays work in BC++ 5.01 Category :Linking Platform :Windows95 Product :BC++ 5.x Question: Can I create an overlayed DOS program with 5.01 Answer: There are two overlay problems with 5.01 1) the IDE project manager doesn't pick up the local Node attributes, "overlay this module" correctly so /o is not passed to tlink.exe You will not see this switch in the *.r$p file that is produced. 2) tlink.exe 7.1.32.2 (5.01) does not respect this switch anyway. So the only resolution is to use an older tlink ( 7.0 comes with 4.52 ) and use the makefile that "Generate makefile" produces ( this does pick up the "overlay this module" checkbox ). Or if they are committed to projects they will have to install 4.52. relevant switches: -Y compiler switch ( make this obj overlayable ) /o linker switch ( overlay toggle ) TDUMP has some friendly "this is overlayed" diagnostics. 7/2/1998 10:32:32 AM
