The easier way is not to use separate CODE and DATA
segments. In that case the program would look like:

	cseg	segment
	entry:	jmp	init
		 :
		 :
		 :
	   data goes here so that it
	   is defined before referenced
		 :
		 :
	init:  ......real start of program
		push	cs
		pop	ds	; address data
		 :
		 :
	cseg	ends


This puts everything in the same segment and makes
relocation on setting up of addressability very easy. I have
noticed that the linker will concatenate the segments
together in alphabetical order if they have the same
attributes.
