Note that the way how you create far pointers can differ
between compilers. In particular, with any 32 bit memory
model, things would look quite differently. Just saying.

You cannot strcmp this because the string is no C style
string with a NUL character at the end. You could use
strncmp(string1, string2, 8) to compare only the first
eight bytes, which will probably work fine for you :-)
