"Tiny" = 1 segment/selector for both code and data
"Small" = 1 segment for code; 1 segment for data
"Compact" = 1 segment for code; more than one for data
"Medium" = more than one segment for code; 1 segment for data
"Large" = more than one segment for both code and data, but no data
item larger than 64K
"Huge" = more than one segment for both code and data, with
individual data elements larger than 64K.
There's one model not categorized; one segment for code, and more
than one for data with elements larger than 64K. I found that I used
this model more than "Huge".
