 Only subroutines, procedures, and functions that are returned from may be
 overlaid.

 both near and far calls are allowed. No jumps or GOTO's to overlays in any
 stack language, and don't play  games with  the stack's return addresses.
 The overlay manager overlay:manager assumes  everything is returned  from,
 so it stores the calling address on  its internal stack.  You should make
 sure that all CODE class segment names end in CODE.  If you use another
 name, link with the /oc option.

 Brackets ("[","]")  can be used  instead of  parentheses  to indicate
 overlays.  This causes  WarpLink  to  act  differently  than  when
 parenetheses are used.  When brackets  are used,  calls from an overlay
 to the root are vectored.  This can sometimes cause a speed degradation,
 but it will not be noticed in most cases. Brackets also allow an overlay
 directly calling the root to be safely swapped out by other overlays
 before the calling overlay is returned to.

 If you are using small code model overlays, brackets must be used instead
 of parentheses to specify overlays.  The program will not work unless the
 brackets are used.

 Make sure you link OVLMGR.OBJ into the root it contains the runtime
 overlay manager.  It cannot be overlaid.

 Do not place startup code in an overlay.

 Functions which perform indirect near calls cannot be overlaid.

NOTE:  WarpLink only creates one .OVL file for your application.
