FAR and NEAR specifiers used with JMP

  The obscenity was these qualifiers making their way into C source
code - try writing (or even reading) the declaration for a near pointer to a
function returning a far pointer to an array of functions returning near
pointers to integers.
  Then realise that you *also* wanted this source code to be portable.
 

I don't recall them ever appearing in C source. They are not part of the C language.
AIR you could compile for 'small model' or 'large model'
And with the early compilers I used, no attempt was made to think about whether a jump was near or far.
I think you got an assembler or  linker error if a target was 'out of range'
