It is usual to relink Fortran H to remove overlays. Just INCLUDE it
and then write it out to a new load module, with no OVERLAY
statements.


I don't know that I have heard of anyone doing that for IEWL. There
are, though, a few different versions of IEWL. The usual one is the F
level linker, which I believe comes in 44K and 88K versions, probably
different overlay structures.
