  Description:
 
     Reads and stores the far pointer specified by the source memory
     operand. The instruction moves the pointer's segment value into
     DS, ES, FS, GS, or SS (depending on the for of the instruction).
     Then it moves the pointer's offset value into the destination
     operand.
 
     The LDS and LES instructions are available on all processors.
     The LFS, LGS, and LSS instructions are available only on the
     80386/486.
