Memory Mgt & Linking Techniques (RTLINK)
Would anyone know about the linker RTLINK and how it is used? Also, would anyone know about Overlays in DOS? Could you help me find more information about these things?
Thanks a lot!

YUP.
RtLink was created by Pocket Soft Corporation and marketed by CA as part of CA-Clipper 5.0 and above. (This was compiled xBase). I don't know whether it's still sold.
There was an option in it to create overlays. I could find out if you're really intersted.
A huge note of caution however on RtLink and it's predeccessor Plink86. "While Clipper sailed the sea of RAM well (small compared to MsFoxPro - say)", it depends a lot on EXPANDED memory (not EXTENDED memory). This has to be set up at configure time and generally meant less than optimum performance for other apps.
