Define Overlay Specifications
Each source overlay has the various specifications to describe itself. These
specifications are used by the IBM Advanced Function Printing Utilities for AS/400
throughout designing the overlay. They are also used to determine how the overlay
is merged onto the user data, such as the offset position and the degree of rotation.
