[net.micro.pc] PLINK86 Overlay Handler Bugs....

Does anybody know of a fix to the bug in the overlay handler that does not
allow one overlay to call another overlay in the same overlay area without
crashing the machine?  Somebody wrote an article saying that they had a fix,
but I lost the return path.   HELP!!!!

Speaking of PLINK bugs, has anyone other than us had any problems with
loading overlay segments from separate files ??  We have one program that
works just fine when all overlays are in one file, but crashes when certain
modules are put into separate overlay files.  We have traced it with Debug,
and it appears as if the last part of the module is not being read in from
the overlay file.

Of course the makers of Plink disavow any knowledge of such a bug......
