.FARDATA Define Far Data Segment Directive
.FARDATA [name]
The .FARDATA directive is used to start the definition of the FAR
initialized data segment(s).
The statements following .FARDATA are put into the FAR data
segment(s). You end the definition of the segment with another
segment directive (such as .CODE), or an END directive which
indicates the end of the file.
Before you use .FARDATA, you must have defined a memory model with
the .MODEL directive.
The advantage of .FARDATA is that it is translated into the standard
FAR data segment name(s) for that memory model when the file is
assembled, which makes it easy to link into high-level languages.
Notes: FAR data segments are not put together into a group, and
all entries in them are identified by 32-bit addresses. You
can use as many .FARDATA directives as you want in a file.
