Hi Modula-2 experts,

I have following problem which one of you may have come across or know about.
I use Logitech-modula-2 compiler for a data analysis package. For graphic 
output we use meta-windows library through Grafix/plus interface (PMI). 
We use the babydriver SW for output to plotter/printers using microsoft C. 
The code and data generated in this package require at least 580Kbyte
of memory on a pc compatible machine. I would like to generate an overlay 
version of this SW. I have tried using overlay linker from microsoft but 
without much success. The logitech linker cannot be used because
of the grafix/plus package.

Can anyone tell me how we could generate an overlay version of our SW on a pc.
Why does the microsoft overlay linker not work in this case ? We have used it
succesfully for another package written in MS-Fortran .

Thanks in advance for responding.

Lalit.
