Re: Re:Re: [Nolug] December meeting

hehe. Memory Overlays were fun to code with. I did so with pascal for
about 8 years. Worked initially on an 8088 and 80286 when it first came
available. Then I became a hardware junkie and started upgrades regularly.
My first real coding job came when I wrote a small stupid game in C using a
memory overlay library to handle the graphics. That was a pain in the butt,
it did pay off however.
