[comp.lang.pascal] Overlays in TP 5.5

jpq@laue.ils.nwu.edu (John Quintana) (08/14/90)

Before I begin, my Pnews is broken, I'm at laue.ms.nwu.edu not
laue.ils.nwu.edu.  Please address responses to laue.ms ....

Does anyone have detailed information as to how the overlay manager
in TP 5.5 works.  I would like to port a time slicing multitasking
kernal over to TP 5.5, and it would be nice to build in support for
the overlay manager.  In particular, I need to know how the manager
knows what overlays it has in memory at any given time, what is on
the disk, and the code segments for the in memory overlays.  Any help
would be appreciated.  Unfortunately, the Turbo manuals aren't as
detailed as I would like. Thanks.
