BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC (Clipper Summer '87)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose : Specify dynamic overlay allocation method
Syntax : BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC
Default : Enabled for Clipper Summer '87
This command is used to instruct Blinker to dynamically allocate memory
for overlays from the Clipper free pool on an as-needed basis. This is
the default method of memory allocation for 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 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.
