If you are creating reasonably sized source files (say one source file per form) then segmenting your application with CodeWarrior is extremely simple. And while you can let segments creep over 32KB even with "Small", it is a good discipline to always ensure they are under 32KB. With Codewarrior it is very easy to view the pre-optimized size of each segment. Based on comments on the forum, segmenting using GCC appears to need more effort, though I have no experience of using that toolset.
