Linking With Blinker. How to take advantage of Blinker ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
If you are using Blinker as your linker then we suggest that you add the following Blinker link commands to your link script:
BLINKER OVERLAY PAGEFRAME ON BLINKER CACHE XMS < somecache >
and perhaps:
BLINKER OVERLAY UMB ON
if you do not have a pageframe setup.
This will speed things up a bit.
For the ultimate usage of MrDebug we strongly recommend that you use protected mode linker and link your application with MrDebug in Protected mode. In which case just add the line:
FILE MrDebug.LIB
to you link script, before CLIPPER.LIB.
Extra Information
The following functions can be used (if they are linked in) automatically by MrDebug to provide information within the Memory/Info screen.
BLIMGRSTS (Blinker 3.00 and higher) BLIVERNUM BLISERNUM
The following function may be used by Blinker when the DOS command is called.
SWPRUNCMD
When using shelling out to DOS, MrDebug will look for the Blinker function SWPSETENV(). If this is found, then MrDebug will add a little MrDebug item to the prompt so that you know you are still running under MrDebug.
