Hi folks.

How's progress with 'epppd' ... (everything seems very quiet) ?

I finally found the 0.6 source at "http://personal.redestb.es/tonilop/" ...
This stuff is complicated (especially if you don't use C ;-) !

One thing I noticed with the above source is that the "make" files
invoke the assembler with the debug option enabled. This makes
the OBJ files bigger, but I have no idea if the extra debugging stuff
is kept in the EXE after linking.

As for my idea to use overlays, to prevent initialization code from
residing in memory, it seems that someone *has* done this before.
The NWCACHE utility in DR-DOS 7.XX consists of an EXE and
two OV? files - no doubt one overlay file has initialization stuff
and the other has resident stuff, right?

Regards to all,
Joe.
