The ovr file extension was also used for DOS overlay files.
When running in a 640K MS-DOS machine, all program code may not fit into available memory at the same time. To overcome this memory limitation, most large programs used overlays.
An overlay is a portion of the program code that shares memory for its code with other code modules. (part of program to be loaded when needed), program code for DOS.
These files were used in old MS-DOS environment only.
A conversion of any kind for this old file type is highly unlikely.
