I appreciated your Linker trivia.  and wanted to bounce something off of
you.
 
The %_Methtables segment contains the dispatching information only for
functions which use PASCAL calling conventions, correct?
 
So, could one take an application which was into the model -far case
and bring it back under the limits by making non-macapp methods of
the hierarchy use C++ calling conventions?
 
Even if the above paragraph is technically correct, is there some
reason other than support for object pascal to avoid this strategy?
 
I have an application that overextended the bounds recently and
still has a ways to go in development.  If I can get it to compile without
using modelf -far at ship time, it would be excellent (bettter performance).
 
one last question:
In segmenting an application (black magic), it would be useful if there
were a spell for detecting cross segment function calls.  Can anyone
offer a suggestion on how to illumate these?  (incantations, runes to be
etched on nearby surfaces... etc.)
 
hoping to tune up my hoggish application,
Dave
