Question:    How do I make external clipper overlays?

Preliminary:	I have read the manuals on the "overlaying" 
and have tried many things.   None seem to work.   I have
created a ".LNK" file that I feed into plink86 (yuck!).  The
.LNK file contains the commands:
	BEGINAREA
		SECTION FILE xxx.ovl INTO a,b,c
		SECTION FILE yyy.ovl INTO c,d,e
	ENDAREA
I have compiled a,b,c,d,e and the .OBJ files are in the right
directory.   The question is:   What makes xxx.ovl and yyy.ovl?
Is it the compiler (I don't think so), is it plink86?  Is there
any way to use the MS-DOS linker instead of plink86?

Help!
