The /OV Option

Option

/OV[[ERLAYINTERRUPT]]:number

This option sets an interrupt number for passing control to overlays. By default, the interrupt number used for passing control to overlays is 63 (3F hexadecimal). The /OV option allows you to select a different interrupt number. This option is valid only when linking overlaid DOS programs.

The number can be any number from 0 to 255, specified in decimal format or in C-language notation. Numbers that conflict with DOS interrupts can be used; however, their use is not advised. You should use this option only when you want to use overlays with a program that reserves interrupt 63 for some other purpose.

Note:

The minimum unique abbreviation for /OV has changed from /O to /OV.
