- If all pointers are large for default, you will have essentially the large
- modell. That is the one and only difference between medium and large. The
- switch you look for is the switch to large.
- Because Borlands large modell for default stores all static data in the default
- data segment their large implementation is fully compatible with Windows. All
- complaints about large modell and Windows in some older Windows programming
- books apply only to older versions of MSC (up to 6.0) and real mode Windows.
