   Far pointers are 32-bit. They are not restricted to 64k. They are generally   
   written as segmentoffset. So if the segment is B000 and the offset is 8000   
   (i.e. video memory), then the far pointer is 0xB0008000. Far simply means, in   
   pointers, that the memory    
   is not near (i.e. within the current segment).   
      
   The problem with far pointers is that segments overlap, so they are not   
   normalized.

   A huge pointer is just a far pointer, but normalized.
