     LOCNEAR, LOCFAR, and LOC return the machine address of
     the variable passed.
 
     The following list shows how the address is returned for different
     types of arguments:

                             then returned.

                             returned.
 
     LOCNEAR can only be used with NEAR procedures and with objects
     in the default data segment. LOC returns either a near or
     a far pointer, depending on the memory model used to compile.
