     I agree too, but _small_ optimizations, like discussed joined write
into lr.BX, _may_ be applied, because they (may) help for other compilers
too.

     After my playing with _seg (you may see its usage in "unstable" branch
through MK_SEG_PTR()) I see the noticeable code reduction for Borland.

     Though, Borland contains bug also there, it related to conversion
literal values to far pointers. :(
