OvrSetRetry procedure
DECLARATION: OvrSetRetry(Size : LongInt)
PURPOSE: Sets the size of the probation area in the overlay buffer
UNIT: Overlay
REMARKS: Any free space in the overlay buffer is considered to be
part of the probation area. If an overlay falls within the
Size bytes the tail of the overlay buffer, it is put on
probation. The default size of the probation area is 0.
A value of 0 effectively disables the probation/reprieval
mechanism.
There is no clearly defined formula for determining the
optimal size of the probation area. The best results can
usually be achieved using values from 1/3 to 1/2 of the
overlay buffer size.
