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.
