I have broken the code into overlays to conserve memory usage, but MSC still stores all of the overlays in one executable file, resulting in a file that is to large to fit on a single 360K floppy. I would like to be able to store overlays in separate file(s), but MSC by itself seems unwilling. Can someone tell me how other programs are developed with separate files for overlays? PS - We already know about various compression programs (PKZIP etc.); I am trying to touch alternatives. Thanks in advance-- David Wright wright@cs.uiuc.edu wright%a.cs.uiuc.edu@uiucvmd.bitnet
