In real mode, your program must reside beyond by the 640k frontier.
In the protected mode, the program may acces (upon the linker and the way
you link) the memory over the 640 k, up to 16 Mb I think ??
So, the big difference is the size limitation of your executable.
Overlays are a nice way to fight and win about RAM limitation.
If I'm wrong, anybody, correct me! : )
