-If your program is too large to fit completely in your target system's
-memory, you can sometimes use @dfn{overlays} to work around this
-problem.  @value{GDBN} provides some support for programs that use

-Suppose you have a computer whose instruction address space is only 64
-kilobytes long, but which has much more memory that can be accessed by
-other means: special instructions, segment registers, or bank switch
-registers, for example.  Suppose further that you want to adapt a
-program which is larger than 64 kilobytes to run on this system.
-
-One solution is to identify modules of your program which are relatively
-independent, and need not call each other directly; call these modules
-@dfn{overlays}.  Separate the overlays from the main program, and place
-their machine code in the larger memory.  Place your main program in
-instruction memory, but leave at least enough space there to hold the
-largest overlay as well.  Now, to call a function located in an overlay,
-you must first copy that overlay's machine code from the large memory
-into the space set aside for it in the instruction memory, and then jump
-to its code.
-
-An overlay loaded into instruction memory and ready for use is called a
-@dfn{mapped} overlay; its @dfn{mapped address} is its address in the
-instruction memory.  An overlay not present (or only partial present) in
-instruction memory is called @dfn{unmapped}; its @dfn{load address} is
-its address in the larger memory.
-
-Overlays introduce a number of complications:

-Since you cannot have all your overlays loaded at once, 
-
-
-This will probably overwrite the
-previous overlay loaded in that space; you will need to re-load

-
-modify your main program such that, before it calls a function located
-in an overlay, it first copies that overlay from the large memory into
-the instruction memory.
