DF Define Farword Directive
DF name
This directive defines a 48-bit pointer normally only used with the
80386 (a segment selector followed by a 32-bit offset address). With
it you can set aside 6 bytes of data that make up:
o An expression with a value from -140,737,488,355,328 to
281,474,976,710,655
o Uninitialized data (if you use the ? symbol)
o A segment:32-bit offset address
The memory unit defined this way is known as an FWORD.
