As you are doubtless aware, Microsoft LINK doesn't do data overlays.
My boss wants me to solve our memory problem by forcing LINK to 
do data overlays.  He wants to fiddle with the .OBJ files so that
the FAR_DATA segments (or at least any constant parts of them) will
be grouped with the CODE segments, causing the const data items to be
overlaid with corresponding code.

Has anyone done this?  Can it be done?
