.FARDATA?        Define Far Uninitialized Data Segment              Directive

  .FARDATA? [name]

     The .FARDATA? directive is used to start the definition of a far
     uninitialized data segment. You define uninitialized data with the ?
     symbol.

     The statements following .FARDATA? are put into the FAR
     uninitialized 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.
