	Turbo C insists on generating far calls to all the "helper" routines,
even in small model.  However, if you compile in TINY model (-mt), it
will generate a push of the code segment followed by a short call.  While
vaguely distressing from an efficiency point-of-view, this will let you
do what you want.  Of course, you could also compile small model to
assembly code, run an editor script to change the sense of the calls, and
assemble with MASM.  Don't forget to patch up the library code to use
near returns though...
