  My (incorrect) implication was that FORTRAN was the only language with
which one could use overlays.   Overlays are implemented by the linker. (TKB)

Well, overlays do not depend on FORTRAN, you can use that no matter what
language you choose.

Yes, of course. I don't know what I was thinking. Thank you for the
correction. I myself have only actually used overlays with FORTRAN;
that was probably the source of my error.
