+  Data type | Meaning
+  ----------+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+  FAR       | Same as far. Identifies an address that originally used the
+            | segment:offset addressing schema. Now FAR simply identifies a
+            | (default) 32-bit address but may be omitted entirely in many cases.
+            |
+  PASCAL    | Same as Pascal. The Pascal convention demanded by Windows
+            | defines the order in which arguments are found in the stack when
+            | passed as calling parameters.
+            |
+  WORD	    | Unsigned integer (16 bits)
+            |
+  UINT      | Unsigned integer, same as WORD
+            |
+  DWORD     | Double word, unsigned long int (32 bits)
+            |
+  LONG      | Signed long integer (32 bits)
+            |
+  LPSTR     | Long (far) pointer to character string
+            |
+  NEAR      | Obsolete, previously identified an address value within a 16KB
+            | memory block.
