   I was trying to implement my C library (PDPCLIB) for MSDOS

   I'm not trying to program in assembly, except for the minimal   
   wrappers.   
      
   I'm wondering how a C "hello world" could have worked in small   
   memory model C compiler (any vendor) when the "hello world"   
   string could come from either a buffer on the stack or a data   
   variable.   
      
   It somehow magically worked.   
      
   I didn't need to stuff around in my hello world application program -   
   someone else magically dealt with that.   
      
   Now I'm trying to understand magic.   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
