- farcalloc will allocate more than 64K, as a matter of fact, it will allocate up to
- all the remaining low memory (Below 640K) in the system.
-
- Of course, if any one array is greater than 64K, to prevent segment looping while traversing
- the array, you will need to use huge pointers instead of far pointers.
