I need some help with creating a far code segment under Microsoft C in
the Compact memory model.

I have a program which has just slightly too large a code size to fit in
one segment.  It has one function which is executed only once so putting
it into another segment seems a way to avoid changing to the Large
memory model (which slows down execution noticeably).  

My question is how to do this.  Simply declaring the function "far" 
doesn't do the trick.  I have several hypotheses about what more might 
be needed, but would prefer to avoid the trial and error approach.  
My hypotheses are:

	1. The far function should be in a separate source file from
	   any near functions.

	2. All functions called by the far function should be themselves
	   declared as far functions.

Can someone comment on these hypotheses or suggest any other magic that
might be needed?
