========================================================== Notes on Using BLINKER to Dynamically Overlay FUNCky v1.50 ========================================================== The file FUNBLINK.LIB is a library file that is to be used in conjunction with the Blinker Linker by Blink Inc. If you are using Blinker and wish to overlay FUNCky C & ASM code, then you must use FUNBLINK.LIB in your Blinker Script file. If you are not using BLINKER, then you will not need to be concerned about FUNBLINK.LIB. FUNBLINK.LIB is a primary library file that contains those segments of code that are not, or should not be overlayed. These portions of code consist of modules that are interrupt driven or contain references to data contained in the code segment. In addition, certain modules have been placed into FUNBLINK.LIB where speed is a major consideration. All in all, 12% of FUNCky v1.50 is contained in FUNBLINK, leaving 88% of FUNCky v1.50 available for overlaying. This translates to over 200k worth of FUNCky code that is overlayable using BLINKER. Our experiences with BLINKER have been very positive. We highly recommend it if you are using FUNCky. BLINKER is a worthwhile investment for its tremendous linking speed and dynamic overlaying of C and ASM capabilities. To use BLINKER and FUNCky v1.50 is very straight forward. A sample BLINKER script file to overlay virtually any program might look like: FILE OUTPUT SEARCH FUNBLINK BEGINAREA SECTION FILE SECTION FILE SECTION FILE SECTION FILE ALLOCATE FUNCky50 ALLOCATE FUNCky15 ALLOCATE EXTEND ENDAREA BLINKER automatically locates the default Clipper libraries and links them in without you having to specify them. FUNBLINK.LIB *must* be specified BEFORE the BEGIN/END area so that the modules it contains are not overlayed. In addition, IT MUST ALWAYS BE SEARCHED in order for the modules it contains to take precedance over the modules in FUNCky15.lib. FUNBLINK.LIB with for FUNCky v1.50 is compatible with both the FUNCky50.lib file and FUNCky87.lib file. If you don't have Blinker, it is worth it's price. We highly recommend it to anyone using FUNCky. In the future, revisions to FUNCky will keep Blinker in mind so that more C and ASM code can be made overlayable.
