Are you trying to port git to DOS or why would you mention IP16? :-)

Just for completness, nothing else ;-)

The problem would be that some, if not most, C environments in DOS offer
a P16P32 model - thanks to (near void *) and (far void *).

No problem. "long" would be big enough for these (wasting some space though)
Only LLP86, IL33LLP64 and P64 would need it bigger, "long long".
