A bug in turbo c that hasn't yet been mentioned is a problem with huge
model.  In declaring an array greater than 64k or 2 arrays totaling greater
than 64k the compiler gives a message that it is out of memory.  I called
Borland and they know about the problemand say it can be aleviated with a
farmalloc.  I haven't tried this yet, and am not sure whether the problem
persists with structures other than arrays.

I read in last weeks PC week that Microsoft is coming out with Quick C and
MSC 5.0 and 5.0 will come with Quick C.  Looks like Microsoft is afraid
Borland will take over their compiler business (what's next Quick Pascal,
can you imagine Microsoft advertising it as compatible with Turbo).
