- This is a simple example of how to use the new overlay system. For
- more complete documentation, refer to the overlay chapter in the
- Programmer's Guide. Here's a quick checklist:
-
- 1. Turn "far calls" on {$F+} (to be safe, in all overlaid units and
- the main program).
- 2. Turn "Overlays allowed" on {$O+}
- 3. Use Overlay unit in main program.
- 4. Issue separate {$O} directives for each overlaid unit.
- 5. Make sure to call OvrInit and pass the name of the .OVR file.
- 6. Test OvrResult after OvrInit calls (optional).
- 7. Compile to disk (cannot run in memory).
-
- Here are the overlay error returns for quick reference:
-
- const
- ovrOk = 0; { Success }
- ovrError = -1; { Overlay manager error }
- ovrNotFound = -2; { Overlay file not found }
- ovrNoMemory = -3; { Not enough memory for overlay buffer }
- ovrIOError = -4; { Overlay file I/O error }
- ovrNoEMSDriver = -5; { EMS driver not installed }
- ovrNoEMSMemory = -6; { Not enough EMS memory }
