- I have a overlay question for anyone out there who is familar
- with Turbo Pascal 6.0.
- What I'd like to know is if I have a small unit that calls a huge
- unit (both overlayed) will the overlay manager handle the reloading of
- the smaller unit if it got over written by the larger one?
- What happens to the global variables they share? Will the smaller
- unit be able to access any changes made to global variables while it was
- swaped out? Is there anything I should be careful of when doing this sort
- of overlayed unit calling another overlayed unit?
-
- Any help would be great,
-
- Don
