[Eat me] I'm currently trying to write a program to generate automatically the optimum overlay structure from the source of any given program. The host machine is a Sun-2, and the target an IBM-PC, using Plink-86 Plus as the linker (it handles overlays already). The stuff I've done so far is based on normal graph theory plus Aho & Ullman's stuff on dominators, and then my own knowledge of how Plink's overlay structures work. Unbelieveably, it all seems to work (sort of!). I would be most grateful if anyone could give me any pointers at all in any area of this work - overlays, graph theory etc. I'm not on the net (I'm borrowing a friend's login at the moment - ta Jules!), but Jules will forward any replies by mail to me by surface mail. Obviously I cannot enter into any dialogue on the net, but if you want to contact me direct: Dave Gurr R4D Ltd. Europa House 13-17 Ironmonger Row London EC1V 3QN ENGLAND Telephone: (+44) 1 608 2361
