Borland recommends using large model with Borland compilers - it is similar
to MSC medium model.  They say Petzold's warnings against large model don't
apply to Borland compilers.  MSC programs in large model can only run one
instance, but Borland large model can run multiple instances.  Once again,
large is recommended and as you say - it's nice because all pointers are far.
