I've been using MS C for a long time now. Yes, it does offer these
various memory model options. Unfortunately, MicroSoft does not provide
a library for use with the small code, large data model until you get to
MS C version 4.0. So, you're welcome to use this Customized Memory Model
but you have to write your own library routine, or do harry things to
call their library rotines (basically, you can declare all of their library
routines as "far", but this doesn't always work).

MS 4.0 comes with a new memory model (the name of which escapes me at the
moment) which is large data, small code.
