2.1 The memory model
--------------------
-The documentation indicates that LZO requires 32-bit integers. It's
-not the integer size that really matters, though, but the memory
-model. If your memory model allows to access pointers at 32-bit
-offsets, then there is no problem at all - LZO works fine on my
-old Atari ST, which has 16 bit integers and a flat 32-bit memory model.
-Using 'huge' 32-bit pointers under 16-bit DOS is a workaround for this.
-
-While LZO also works with a strict 16-bit memory model, I don't officially
-support this because this limits the maximum block size to 64 KiB - and this
-makes the library incompatible with other platforms, i.e. you cannot
-decompress larger blocks compressed on those platforms.
