Thanks for the tips.

I plan to just port the minimum amount of the library that I need and move
out all the non-executable code far memory.

  ohhh old memories...
Well from what I remember there was a "large" compiler mode where
all function and variable pointers were using far adressing, I 
don't see why libxml2 would not compile in that model. There is nothing
obviously specific in the C code which should prevent it from compiling
in the Borland environment that I can think of... You will have to 
generate your own project and an xmlversion.h which suit the parts you
need, but with a bit of work I don't see why this would fail.
Of course not using the "large" compilation model would break horribly
because of the size of the generated code, you will also need to 
compile out a lot of the modules to not fill all the memory with just
libxml2 code :-)

  good luck !

Daniel
