i'm having trouble linking an old libarary with new C code.  The
libarary is several years old, and does not have modern segment names.
(it's microsoft C v. 2 and/or lattice C v. 3.)  i've written filters
that add leading underscores and lowers the case of the names of the
external definitions and the routine names (lnames) in the object
file.  when I compile and link the C code in the large memory model,
the object modules extracted from the libarary link with my code.
however, it is apparent from following the code with a debugger that
the library modules were compiled in the small memory module.  
(library function returns don't pop the text segment off the stack and
the program goes bye-bye.)  when i try to compile a program in the
small memory model, i get the famous 'fix-up' errors from the linker
when i try to link with the library modules.
thanks for any advice.
