Well, I personally would post it to the ibm-pc.programmers hierarchy; just
like I would post Mac specific questions to the MAC groups, NOT HERE. 

FLAME ON::
 This is why we go to all of the trouble of creating different groups for
different topics and interests. I do not feel that Intel segment register
questions are relevant to me and you probably would not feel that Mac memory 
manager quirks were relevant to you. So learn the concepts of News and use
the structure as it was intended...
Notice the Followup To: line; That is how I would expect people to move the
discussion.. The point is that Turbo C memory models don't belong here at all.

FLAME OFF:
