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

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