Question:

How can I incorporate overlays into my bound application?

Response:

You cannot use overlays in a bound application. To bind an
application, you must first have a runnable OS/2 executable; then, you
use the BIND utility to make it run in both OS/2 and DOS. OS/2
executables do not understand overlays so you cannot incorporate them
into an OS/2 executable. Hence, you cannot use overlays in a bound
program.
