 PP> In your data declarations, if you do not specifically specify PP>
keyword far, then the declaration is left in the default data


Aha, so you think that what that guy wanted was a way to get his medium

model data out of DGROUP.  I hvae run into that problem, even in the
large model.  MSC has a compiler line switch to automatically move all
string constants out of DGROUP, if this is compiled:

double lfAngle;	// 8 bytes taken up in DGROUP
char far caPrompt[8];	// 8 bytes stored in a far segment NOT
		// in DGROUP

Unfortunately, I know of know way to accomplish this with BC++.  In
fact, I participated in the writing of a large model C++ multimedia GUI

authoring package for Chrysler last year, and we never did figure out
how
to DEFAULT data out of DGROUP.  As you said, you can EXPLICITLY declare

the data as far, but there seems to be no way to make that a default.
Also in the medium model all your medium model library fcns will crash
when they attempt access data in another segment witha near pointer!
Now
that you have pointed out what this guy really wants (he DID ask a very

good question) I am most interested in the answer.

Thank you

Peter
