  Keyword:   _far
 
  Syntax:    _far declarator
 
  Summary:   Specifies that a data object can reside anywhere in
             memory, and is not assumed to reside in the current data
             segment. Specifies that a function is not assumed to be in
             the current code segment. Functions and data are
             referenced with a 32-bit address, and pointers declared
             with _far are 32-bit values. The _far modifier should
             appear before the name of the function or data object
             being declared. For compatibility with previous versions,
             far is a synonym for _far.
