To date there are no "C" compilers that support large model coding on the IBM AT (Intel 286 based). IS THIS CORRECT? I spoke with the author if the Lattice "C" compiler and he told me of some design problems with the 286 that makes building large model programs very difficult. I think there was some- thing about a register changing function from the 8086 line. I'd like to see some information on the net concerning large model addressing - its problems, implementation details, etc. Thanks. David P.
