it was specific to the original post which was not built with large memory model, AFAIR. obviously far is not needed in a large memory model as all pointers are then far by default.

Ok, I see what happened now.
I interpreted "you need to declare it as a far pointer, regardless of the memory model your using" as "regardless of which memory model you are using - even large - you MUST declare pointers as far and do a far cast in order to convert from an integer type".
Whereas you meant "you can overcome that problem simply by using a far pointer, and that works no matter what memory model you are using - even e.g. small".
