There is no information on memory models because DJGPP only supports one 
and there are no command line flags required.  DJGPP is a 32bit Flat 
Memory model compiler and supports a 4GB virtual memory space supported, 
through a DPMI server, by as much physical memory and disk swap space you 
have available and your DPMI server can support.  DJGPP provides a free 
DPMI server, CWSDPMI, which supplies up to 256MB of virtual memory 
depending on available disk space for the VM swap file.  Some DPMI 
servers support more VM, most provide less.

So, say goodby to the 64K object size limits of the Small, Medium and 
Large models and the awkwardness of the Huge Model, welcome to the flat 
model.
