   It is usual to relink Fortran H to remove overlays.  Just INCLUDE it   
   and then write it out to a new load module, with no OVERLAY   
   statements.   
      
   I don't know that I have heard of anyone doing that for IEWL.  There   
   are, though, a few different versions of IEWL.  The usual one is the F   
   level linker, which I believe comes in 44K and 88K versions, probably   
   different overlay structures.
