RE: DS / Overlay keyword

> D DSName          DS
> D   Field                      9A
> D   Part1                      3A   Overlay(Field: *Next)
> D   Part2                      3A   Overlay(Field: *Next)
> D   Part3                      3A   Overlay(Field: *Next)

Remove the "*Next" from the definition of Part1 and all should be well.

Note also that if Part1, Part2, etc. are defined as fields in a file, then
the 3A definition is superfluous.

We wrote an article on D-spec discoveries that goes all through this and if
the magazine web site wasn't hosed right now I could point you at that for
the details.  If you want a copy, e-mail me _off_list_ - I won't respond to
list requests as I don't see every e-mail on the list.
