Based on what the MSDN page says:

" __ptr32 represents a native pointer on a 32-bit system, while
__ptr64 represents a native pointer on a 64-bit system."
"On a 32-bit system, a pointer declared with __ptr64 is truncated to a
32-bit pointer. On a 64-bit system, a pointer declared with __ptr32 is
coerced to a 64-bit pointer."

I don't think that's what the original poster needed (32-bit offset in
a 64bit segment).
