- I am currently programming a large database application for a small company.
- I am looking into possible ways to reduce the memory image of the resultant
- program. I have considered splitting the program into separate sections,
- based on sub-menus, removing strings to shared memory, etc... I have not
- selected any method of reducing size, nor have I ruled out just 'one-big-
- mother,' I am just looking into the possibilities, should the needs arise.
- I would like to know if it is EASY to write overlays in XENIX C. Portability
- can be sacraficed, as this program will never go beyond the
- walls of this company. Specifically, The OS is SCO XENIX Sys V 386 version
- 2.3.something with the companion 386 Developement system (i.e cc, masm, etc)
- Oh yah, one last little puzzle piece - The program MUST be compiled as a
- LARGE model 286 binary because the functions to interface with the UNIFY DBMS
- are pre-compiled - no source code. It is also no problem to enable the
- non-ANSI extensions. Thanx in advance...
