.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.
