Does anyone know of any software tools which can assist in designing
an optimal overlay strategy for MSC5.1?  We have a rather complex
application which takes up about 400K of memory with no overlays.
Through a simple-minded approach we have reduced this to about 200K
with about a dozen overlays.  Problem is that the system thrashes
heavily with this overlay.  Is there something that would tell us
what is being most commonly called, either at runtime, or by
off-line analysis of the code?

Thanks in advance,

Herb Lison
