There's no need to create overlay files in DJGPP. In pascal (Turbo Pascal),
you had overlay files because the size of the executable+data could not exceed
1 Megabyte. However, in 32-bit protected mode, your file size can be as large
as you like (upto 4GB). This makes programming easier by not having to bother
about overlaying.
