Ok, I probably only thought about including the writeup in the
documentation. I know I did write up a moderately lengthy
article about dealing with the overlay setup in response to a
problem someone was having. I just never went and incorporated it
into the setup/installatino documentation ;(
One thing, obvious now that I think of it, I forgot to mention last
night is that "too big for type 431" can also happen if the D space
total is too large. If 'MAXUSERS' is set too high for example
then more than 48KB of D space will be needed and the linker will
complain. Look at the sum of the DATA and BSS segments (it might
be necessary to sum up the .o files individually) - if it's pushing
48KB then that's the problem.
Cheers,
