Chain

Terminate and execute another application

#include <SegLoad.h> Segment Loader

The use of Chain is no longer recommended. Actually, that might be an

understatement, since it has been broken since MutiFinder 1.0 was released.

Chain (and its partner Launch) now have inline glue, so you should ignore

the description of these functions in technote 160, and use the glue provided in

your development package.

Chain works like Launch except that the current application's heap and data

area remain intact.

Expects: (A0) is a Ptr pointing to p-string of application file to launch.

4(A0) indicates how to configure sound and screen buffers.

The file to launch is on the current volume (see SetVol).

Notes: The word at 4(A0) should be set as follows:

0 Configure to provide only the main sound and screen buffers ( provide

the largest amount of memory possible)

>0 Configure for the main screen buffer and the alternate sound buffer

<0 Configure for both the alternate sound and alternate screen to be

allocated (least available RAM)

This usage is identical to that of Launch. See that topic for an example.
