Nope. There are no far pointers in 32-bit Windows. It's a legacy thing.
Just like LPSTR is a "long" pointer to string - yet there is no such
thing as 'long' pointer anymore.

Nope. There's no difference between %Fp and %p anymore (not in win32),
just like there is no difference between, say, PWORD and LPWORD.
> c) it should NOT be confused in any way with the lower-case-only float type
