There is also a -v switch that looks like it was intended to support overlays but wasn't finished. Currently it does some pretty strange stuff that doesn't appear to do anything useful.

I had heard that 405 overlays were added to support the CULC Fortran 4 Plus. Not having used F4P, I can't say for sure.
