** munchies and crunchies ** I've seen two article about spreadsheets. Both of these articles directly say or hint at 400K of runnable code. Why aren't those programs making extensive use of overlays? My understanding is that overlaying is a feature of (at least lattice) C compilers. I find it hard to beleive that a well written spreadsheet is going to need 400K for the runnable code. Am I being naive? Don White Box 271177 Concord Ca. 94527-1177

I find it hard to beleive that a well Overlaying is done by the linker, not the compiler, and output from ANY compiler/assembler/etc can be overlaid. ALINK will not do overlays on the Amiga, but the version in the PC cross-development system will. We're in the process of adding overlays to BLINK, so version 6.? (or maybe 7.?) should do them.
