I don't recall them ever appearing in C source. They are not part of the
C language.

  No they are not - but they did appear as extensions in every
8086/80286 compiler I ever used.
 

Dint appea as extensions in ANY of the ones I used.  You compiled for small model or for large model.
Small model couldnt exceed 64k program space

AIR you could compile for 'small model' or 'large model'

  There were several models available (tiny had one segment shared for
code and data, small had separate code and data then there were mixed small
code large data and vice versa). These set the memory mapping and the
default sizes of pointers but the near and far keywords could override
those defaults in some models.

Not in any compiler I used.

  It was *horrible*, the 80386 was a breath of fresh air.
 

I'll grant you that.
