You mean they _still_ don't have the huge model?
I saw a version of uport 2 years ago (a friend of mine actually bought it)
and the documentation explained the huge model but the compiler didn't
support it _yet_. 
I guess that if they didn't get around to implementing it in these 2 years
you can just as well forget it.

Go with SCO. Their compiler supports the huge model since more than 2 years,
though it didn't work very well in pre 2.2 releases...

Paul.
