  I have a question for the PC programmers out there that I would be very
grateful if they could answer.  

Under what conditions would one consider compiling something in Microsoft C
with the -Alfu option.  This should specify large code, large data model but
also specify SS != DS, DS reloaded on function entry.  When would one use
such a feature in a C program?

  I am updating a program where the libraries have been compiled with such
an option, and I have no idea why.  I would appreciate any help that might
be forthcoming about why they might have been compiled that way.

   Thanks in advance.
