     We already have eight code models for the present Intel line.
How many more will the 386 introduce?  

	1)   8086/8088/Unprotected IAPX 286 small code/small data
	2)   8086/8088/Unprotected IAPX 286 large code/small data
	3)   8086/8088/Unprotected IAPX 286 small code/large data
	4)   8086/8088/Unprotected IAPX 286 large code/large data
	5)   Protected IAPX 286 small code/small data
	6)   Protected IAPX 286 large code/small data
	7)   Protected IAPX 286 small code/large data
	8)   Protected IAPX 286 large code/large data

How much more of this will the compiler vendors stand for?  By the way, is
there a good compiler for C on the PC/AT for UNIX that supports mode 8 fully?
