I am having fun at the moment with memory models.

At the moment I am using code like :
  read(hFile,lpMsgBuffer,size);

and compiling in large model.  I would prefer to have it compiled under small
or medium model as that gives moveable data segments.  If I do though it can't
seem to reference lpMsgBuffer which is a far pointer to a buffer - because it
is global heap.  If I use small model (ie near data pointers) then lpMsgBuffer
is converted to near incorrectly.  BTW I am using Microsoft C 6.

Is there an easy solution?

I will post a summary of any replies received as I am sure other people will
have this problem!!  (Maybe it should be included in FAQ??)
