The <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> and <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> routines overlay <EM>srcwin</EM> on top of <EM>dstwin</EM>.
<EM>scrwin</EM> and <EM>dstwin</EM> are not required to be the same size; only text where
the two windows overlap is copied. The difference is that <STRONG>overlay</STRONG> is
- non-destructive (blanks are not copied) whereas <STRONG>overwrite</STRONG> is destruc-
- tive.

The <STRONG>copywin</STRONG> routine provides a finer granularity of control over the

- gle is specified in the destination window, (<EM>dminrow</EM>, <EM>dmincol</EM>) and
