Is it such a bother to NOT read the articles? I don't see how you would expect
people to change newsgroups in the middle of a thread. It started as a TurboC
memory models question. Where else would you post it? The hardware type group?
Intel discussion group? I use TurboC with DOS, and cc/gcc with Unix. I think
it is helpful to know of the problems (current or future) that one may run
into while programming in the two environments....

I guess my question to the group would be, So what? Just don't read the
articles; especially if it bothers you that much...
