subject: What is Raid ?

ML> Couldn't build an overlayed DOS executable when OVERLAY_BUILD=1 was
 ML> enabled in the make file. But when that option was disabled two
 ML> files are created: 

 ML>   max.exe  (832 Kb)
 ML>   maxd.exe (1 Mb)

 ML> which is a bit confusing (ie. is max.exe overlayed or not (?)) ... 

 ml> what's the name of the ORV or OVL file? it should

Max.ovl wasn't created. Which meant the overlayed compile failed.

I got it to work in the end after much worming around.

The overlayed version splits the 830 kb file into a 470 kb'ish .exe and 360
kb .ovl file.

 ml> likely be the same as the exe... what does maxd do that
 ml> max doesn't?

I have no idea. Better use of memory maybe.
