Changes

To enable correction for sample overlap in your sample size weighted meta-analysis, use OVERLAP ON command (valid only with SCHEME SAMPLESIZE). By default, METAL uses Z-statistics <1 for esimating the number of individuals that are common among studies. To change this threshold, use ZCUTOFF [number] command.
