Q63422: B_OVREMAP in 7.00 Programmer’s Guide Should Be B_OVLREMAP

Article: Q63422

Page 613 of "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for versions
7.00 and 7.10) incorrectly refers to the B_OVREMAP routine. This
routine (contained in the BASIC run-time) is actually named
B_OVLREMAP.

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS.

The B_OVLREMAP routine is used to remap the overlays in expanded
memory after the state has changed. To use this from a BASIC program,
you must map the name to a usable SUB name using the ALIAS keyword in
the DECLARE SUB line.

Code Example
------------

The following code example demonstrates the use of the B_OVLREMAP
routine:

   DECLARE SUB OvlReMap ALIAS "B_OVLREMAP"
   SHELL             'Do something to expanded memory in the SHELL
   CALL OvlReMap     'Remap overlays in expanded memory after SHELL
   END
