+It is also critical to understand that unlike many OS9 assemblers, LWASM
+does NOT maintain a separate data address counter.  Thus, you must define
+all your data offsets and so on outside of the mod/emod segment.  It is,
+therefore, likely that source code targeted at other assemblers will require
+edits to build correctly.
