- Stack overflows just from CODE=FAR and DATA=FAR????? Have you reported this to
- EMITS?
-
- FYI, in general, it should NEVER be necessary to use CODE=FAR -or- DATA=FAR,
- unless you are simply doing a quick hack. By careful use of the __far keyword,
- you should still be able to compile without the "xxx=FAR" switches, in which
- case your code will be smaller and a bit faster than if you use the "xxx=FAR."
