] which is very little help, to say the least.  Work around? Change the code 

I tried the first program on my system (Xenix 2.2.3, 386, etc).  I tried it
for 386 code, 286 large model, and 286 small model.  They all worked.  FYI,
the 286 models use a 286 compiler instead of the 386 compiler.  I believe
that it is the same compiler as distributed in the 286 development system.
