subject: Creating .OVR files

I'm writing an online game at the moment and have come to realize that I
will soon run out of conventional memory.  So like most onliners, I will
need to create  an  overlay  file.   Unforunately,  my compiler (Borland
C/C++ v4.00) does not really document this all too well, if at all.  All
I can see is that a library file exists  called  OVERLAY.LIB,  a  global
variable  called _ovrbuffer and two other commands to initialize ems and
xms.  I am using a huge memory model within the project.
Can somebody help me out here?  Please and thank you.
