Huh! You may write 16-bit programs as well as 32-bit. It's unneccessary to use
flat memory model in every program.

You had mistake - only 16-bit API functions are callable as Pascal-style
procedures, 32-bit ones are C callable. You may convince yourself of the
truth of my words by writing a simple program in C that uses API16 and
API32 calls and then compile it into ASM.
