 BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Purpose:
 Specify CA-Clipper Summer '87 dynamic overlay allocation method.

 Syntax:
 BLINKER OVERLAY DYNAMIC

 Default:
 Enabled for CA-Clipper Summer '87.

 Description:
 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.
