[comp.lang.c] Overlay Managers?

ruschein@oregon.uoregon.edu (Johannes Ruscheinski) (05/14/89)

I'm currently programming on a PC in Turbo-Pascal, but I'd like to switch to C.
What has kept me so far from doing this is that there don't seem to be any
overlay managers available for C-compilers.  If anybody out there could point
me to some, I'd be grateful.  I'm particularly interested in overlay managers
for POWER\C, TURBO\C, and QUICK\C.

Overlays are a feature of the linker, not the compiler. The linker supplied
with your copy of MSDOS should do the trick, regardless of what compiler
you are using (provided the compiler produces Intel-type object files;
both Turbo and QuickC do, dunno about PowerC).
