	thanks, I knew about making my functions FAR and I will do
	that but the real problem is the C runtime library functions.

	I need to use sprintf, atoi, etc and these i cannot modify 
	in a rational manner so that they are far functions. What can 
	I do ... I want to stay with the small model and I am at
	a point where I can't move forward until I can fix this


				HELP!!!
