     Compiler warning (level 1) C4017
 
     cast of int expression to far pointer
 
     A far pointer represents a full segmented address. On an 8086/8088
     processor, casting an int value to a far pointer may produce an
     address with a meaningless segment value.
 
     The compiler extended the int expression to a four-byte value.
