Bernie,

Look up "overlays" in your compiler documentation.  An "overlay" is part
of a program that shares memory space with (overlays) some other part.
Generally, support for such a feature is (or is not) provided by the
compiler.

I'm using a "C" cross compiler which supports overlays (Aztec C-II /
MS-DOS to Z-80); offhand I don't know if the major MS-DOS native C
compilers (Computer Innovations C86, Lattice/Microsoft C, C-Ware/DeSmet
C88) support overlays.
