CLIPPER OVERLAY HELP

[shawn.r.antol]

Question: How do I make external clipper overlays?

Preliminary: I have read the manuals on the "overlaying"
and have tried many things. None seem to work. I have
created a ".LNK" file that I feed into plink86 (yuck!). The
.LNK file contains the commands:
BEGINAREA
SECTION FILE xxx.ovl INTO a,b,c
SECTION FILE yyy.ovl INTO c,d,e
ENDAREA
I have compiled a,b,c,d,e and the .OBJ files are in the right
directory. The question is: What makes xxx.ovl and yyy.ovl?
Is it the compiler (I don't think so), is it plink86? Is there
any way to use the MS-DOS linker instead of plink86?

Help!
