Well, you could introduce two different menory models, instead of
using old libraries. The header files could be #ifdefd'ed and all
would work (link in MeSsyDOS). But I hope, that there will never be
memory models in Solaris.

You cannot use object files of small and large memory model
together. This (among lots of other inconvieniences) will knock out
the idea of memory models in solaris.
