X-Hacker.org- Warplink version 2.6 - <b>/ort swap active overlays at runtime to xms, extended memory.</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
/ort                Swap active overlays at runtime to XMS,  extended memory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Description:

 The /ort option allocates a 128K swap area in extended memory and swaps 
 active overlays out to it.  The last swapped overlay has priority over
 earlier ones if more than 128K of active overlays are swapped-out.
 The 128K of XMS memory allocated for use by /ort is automatically
 freed at program termination.

 Applications using /orp may execute somewhat faster than those using
 /ort because /orp maps, rather than copies, the overlay image to memory.

 The /ort option has priority over the /orp option if both are used -- they
 cannot operate simultaneously.  If you specify both the /ort and /orp
 options, XMS (/ort) active overlay swapping will be used unless 128K of
 free XMS is not available, at which time the WarpLink overlay manager
 will attempt to use 128K of EMS for swapping.  You may wish to
 specify both options if your program will be operating on a mix of
 machines that may have either XMS or EMS memory.  


 Clipper User Note:

 If you use the /ort option, the Clipper 5 debugger CLD.EXE will not
 function with your program.  Use WarpMod to turn this option off and
 on quickly, if necessary. 

 Clarion User Note:

 The /ort option has no effect when used with Clarion programs. Be sure
 to register your copy of WarpLink in order to keep up with future
 developments on this and other options.
