If all pointers are large for default, you will have essentially the large 
modell. That is the one and only difference between medium and large. The 
switch you look for is the switch to large.
Because Borlands large modell for default stores all static data in the default 
data segment their large implementation is fully compatible with Windows. All 
complaints about large modell and Windows in some older Windows programming 
books apply only to older versions of MSC (up to 6.0) and real mode Windows.
