registers properly so that the same code can run in the different
16bit modes that it needs to support.
+C code mode flags
+=================
+
+Two compile time flags are available to determine the memory model the
+code is intended for: MODE16 and MODESEGMENT. When compiling for the
+16 bit modes, MODE16 is true and MODESEGMENT is true. In 32bit
+segmented mode, MODE16 is false and MODESEGMENT is true. In 32bit flat
+mode both MODE16 and MODESEGMENT are false.
