Seems to me Clipper [due to RAM limitations] had this way
of swapping pieces of code in and out and you could tell
Clipper to leave certain code in RAM "all the time" and
that was where you put your main stuff.
Anybody recall what I'm talking about or am I remembering
something else entirely?

Something else entirely. Most languages have DLLs. DOS was going to limit anything except TSRs, which were usually not part of any code base.

Overlays? Am I thinking of overlays? I just happened upon an old InfoWorld ad for Clipper 5.0

Overlaying was job of linker (blinker, exospace), not of clipper. Here
the snippet of linker config file:
blinker cache XMS 50%
blinker overlay opsize 48
blinker overlay UMB OFF
output CHB
file CHB.OBJ
file f_RODCIS.OBJ
file f_CIS.OBJ
file f_SPLIT.OBJ
beginarea
file STD.OBJ
endarea
beginarea
file CHB321.OBJ
file CHB341.OBJ
file CHB351.OBJ
endarea

I wrote Summer '87 as my first paying job and did some 5.0/5.01 but probably haven't touched Clipper since 92 or 93?
I have been trying to remember some Clipper vocabulary to talk about another/different/completely new concept I'm working on but I can't remember the words.
