   1. Make a copy of the distribution disk to a fresh disk.

   2. Start TINST from your copy and select your terminal.

   3. Exit TINST and type:  TURBO

   4. Type O for Options then C for Com file and Q for Quit.

   5. Type Y for Yes

   6. Type M for Main file and answer: MC

!               RUN-TIME ERRORS IN OVERLAYS                    !
---------------------------------------------------------------
Run-time errors occurring in overlays are found as usual, and an
address is issued by the error handling system.  This address,
however, is an address within the overlay area, and there is no 
way of knowing which overlay subprogram was actually active when 
the error occurred.

Run-time errors in overlays can therefore not always be readily
found with the Options menu's 'Find Run-Time Error' facility. 
What 'Find Run-Time Error' will point out is the first occurence
of code at the specified address.  This, of course, may be the
place of the error, but the error may as well occur in a subsequent  
subprogram within the same overlay group.

This is not a serious limitation, however, as the type of error 
and the way it occurs most often will indicate to you in which 
subprogram the error happened.  The way to locate the error 
precisely is then to place the suspected subprogram as the first 
subprogram of the overlay group.  The 'Find Run-Time Error' will 
then work.

THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO NOT PLACE SUBPROGRAMS IN OVERLAYS UNTIL 
THEY HAVE BEEN FULLY DEBUGGED!«eof»
