SA>The question is:   What makes xxx.ovl and yyy.ovl?
SA>Is it the compiler (I don't think so), is it plink86?

Yes, PLINK86 (the overlay linker) makes the OVL (overlay) files.

SA>Is there any way to use the MS-DOS linker instead of plink86?

Yes, if you don't required overlays.  Many small applications don't
need overlays.  The MS-DOS Linker is considerably faster than PLINK86.
