There are several different memory segmentation models on the 8086 family:

        small           64K code, 64K data
        medium          many 64K code segments, 64K data segment
        large           many 64K code segments, many 64K data segments

One of the nice things about writing code in assembler for the PC is that
you run the resulting .EXE file through EXE2BIN and get a .COM file.  
Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft (and everyone else) supported a new
memory segmentation module with code and data in the same segment, so
we could create .COM programs written in C?

Maybe we could call it "miniscule" module.
