\*RESTART,WRITE,OVERLAY in Windows system throws an error message.

“rm” is not recognized as an internal or external command,  
program or executable batch file.

“mv” is not recognized as an internal or external command,  
program or executable batch file.

I guess those are Linux commands

Looks like you are correct, lines 489-496 of restartwrite.f:  
`! if overlay mode: rename temporaryrestartfile into .rout file`  
` if(irstrt(2).eq.1) then`  
` close(15)`  
` call system("rm -f "//fnrstrt(1:ipos+4))`  
` call system("mv temporaryrestartfile "//fnrstrt(1:ipos+4))`  
` endif`
