   Sorry, I don't understand.

   Thanks, let me look into that.   
      
   By the way, I realized something.   
      
   Isn't "mov ax, DGROUP"   
      
   effectively a move of a segment?   
      
   If a.out can handle passing on the DGROUP reference, why   
   not the segment of other references?   
      
   Or will that be specially known by the linker?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
