    <type> far variables

    What are far variables?
    From what I've seen it's used to access memory addresses.
    But can someone explain me what its use actually is?

    start using more recent compilers...
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    They're far back in time, and it means you need a new compiler.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
