  I have a question about mixing memory models.  I have a large program that
has three very separate parts to it.  While each part is less than 64k, the
total is much larger.  Since there are very few calls that cross the
boundary of the three blocks, I would like to make each section small model
if possible.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure how this is done.  My guess is:

  Each section is compiled small model, but any routines that are called
from another section of the program are declared far.  Furthermore, one
must somehow make sure that all parts of a single section are placed in
the same segment.  I'm not sure what options one would link it with.

  The assumption is that the total program has less than 64k of data.  If
it was larger, then one would compile each section with the compact model.
I am using MSC 6.0, but I assume that the experience is transferrable.

  Could anyone experienced with mixing memory models either confirm or 
correct this?  Thanks.
