I want to write some code in Turbo-C which will then be burned into
ROM's. Can anyone tell me what special steps (if any) need to be taken
so that I can do this? Can you point me to a text or manual that
covers the subject?

I can see that I would want to use a memory model which would place the
code is a seperate segment. I would then assign the code segment to ROM
and the other segments to RAM. But how do I force the compiler to put
constants and literals in the code segment rather than in the data segment?

For example, if I have statement like:

             y=x+3;

      or     if (strcmp(name,"joe") == 0)

how do I make sure that the 3 and the "joe" endup in ROM?

Thanks.
