[cc65-devel] Binary loads of overlays on various targets

[Payton B. <pl...@gm...>]

I'm writing a large project that uses overlays and also targets multiple
platforms (C64, C128, A2, Atari).  I already know that the best way to load
the overlays on the two Commodores is through the CBM_LOAD command which
will allow fast-loaders to load the files.  What is the best way to
accomplish this on the Apple and Atari platforms?  I know I could fread the
data to memory, but I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do.

As an aside, I have a question concerning overlay files on the Apple and
Atari platforms.  Do I need to include a load address at the beginning of
the files?  I'm assuming I do, but don't want to go off the reservation to
exclude them unless necessary.

Thanks!
