Try

    typedef struct { char far a; double far b,c;} rec;

instead of

    typedef struct { char a; double b, c;} rec;	

In the second case, the variables are accessed via short (abbreviated)
addresses.

(There are two types of programmers:  those who hate Intel's segmented
 architecture, and those who lie about it.        :-)     )
