TurboC and overlays

Hi there,
I'm wondering if it is possible to write overlays in TurboC. I've tried it
a few times, but it didn't work. (I mean: I didn't get it to work)
The reference manual says Tlink wasn't designed to be used with overlays, so
I decided to use the microsoft linker supplied with dos. The problem is, the
library routines internally call procedures declared in the startup code,
which I don't want to be included. (If I would do that, it wouldn't be an
overlay any more).
Does anyone know if there is another way of doing it, or is it just not
possible?
By the way: the overlay will be loaded into EMS-memory, so the stack must be
part of conventional memory.
Thanks in advance.
