EDIT #2:
Okay, I am getting hopelessly confused by my own ignorance. Right, if you read my answer in its original form, you probably have the right answer (search the Web for "far pointer"), but note that this is implementation dependent, not standard. If you read my first edit, then it is something good to take note of, but is not the case here.

Thank you laserlight, I googled, there are three pointer types: near, far and huge.
Didnt know it.
I didnt read your first comment btw.

It's because NEAR, FAR and HUGE to my knowledge are not needed in any Win32 or any protected mode applications. The last time I used these was inside of DOS.
