Far is an old hack (part of the standard but ugly as watever) to allow a 16 bit
computer to access a 32bit address space without wasting lots of time. What was
done is to use a 16bit "section" address for the upper half of the address. then
all htta is need is a 16bit pointer for the lower half. This is called a near
pointer and avoids the need to load the whole thing each time. A far pointer use
when that isn't good enough. It is just a full 32bit pointer.

You should be able to ignore it. If you find a near pointer... you will have problems.
