First of all this program is compiler dependent can only be compiled by 16-bit compiler under windows.So if you are using Linux or modern compilers such as VC++ or 32-bit C++ compilers the program does not work.32-bit compilers do not have the concept of near,far huge pointers..

So this my be the cause for errors in your case

1 error C2143: syntax error : missing ‘;’ before ‘*’
2 error C2065: ‘p’ : undeclared identifier
3 error C2146: syntax error : missing ‘)’ before identifier ‘far’
4 error C2059: syntax error : ‘)’
5 error C2065: ‘p’ : undeclared identifier

these are the 5 errors I’m gettin.
