Could you someone explain to me what mean zero/nonzero based memory model? Resp. what are the advantages and issues of this? Why DJ decided to use it if it is SO BAD?

I use C (mostly DJGPP) because I don't want to mess with memory management and let compiler to do it for me. And I think DJGPP serves enough functions for accessing real and entire physical memory. So I don't feel bad that I have something like nonzero based model if it can properly work under common DPMI server in DOS and Windows.
