    The following example gets the segment portion of a far pointer and
    increments it to the next paragraph.

           #include <dos.h>

           void far *ptr;
           unsigned int seg_val, off_val;

           main()
           {
                seg_val = FP_SEG(ptr);
                off_val = FP_OFF(ptr);
                FP_SEG(ptr) = ++seg_val;
                printf("%04x:%04x",seg_val,off_val);
           }
