$MS Link has been able to do overlays for years. It has the added
$advantage of keeping the overlay code in the .exe file, rather than
$littering your world with .ovl files.
PLINK will also do internal overlays if you want them. However, there
may be valid reasons for not wanting them. For example, let's say your
program's .EXE is 450K and you want to distribute it on 360K disks but
don't want to have to archive it and provide an unarchiving program.
If you can split it up into a 350K executable and one or more overlays,
you can now distribute it.
