    far pointers

    Could anyone help me out with the concept of far ponters in C++? What are they used for and how do they function?

    Re: far pointers

    far pointers take 4 bytes in C++ and they are used to point some memory out of current segment. let the current segment be of 64K then one can allocate memory with in this limits. Far pointers can not exceed limits of a segment.

    With king regards
