I am in the process of reading Petzold's book.  The chapter on memory
management seems a curious mixture of real mode discussion and protected
mode discussion.  In particular, there are some rules regarding use of the
medium model (such as, don't store far pointers to data); these
rules seem to apply to real mode only, but the book does not say so.

Can anyone enlighten me as to these medium model restrictions?

Thanks,
