BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC Specify CA-Clipper Summer '87 dynamic overlay allocation method
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose : Specify CA-Clipper Summer '87 dynamic overlay allocation method
Syntax : BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC
Default : Enabled for CA-Clipper Summer '87
This command is used to instruct Blinker to dynamically allocate memory for
overlays from the CA-Clipper free pool on an as-needed basis. This is the
default method of memory allocation for CA-Clipper Summer '87 overlaid
applications, and was the only method used by Blinker versions up to and
including Blinker 1.31.
This method has the benefit that the memory allocated to inactive overlays
can be returned to CA-Clipper using the BLIOVLCLR() function to clear out
inactive overlays. The disadvantage of this method is that it cannot make
use of UMBs or the EMS pageframe for running overlays, so can leave less
memory for the application under certain circumstances.
