Putting the segment into the higher memory address is also more in line with
how the processor and most other languages handle it. I've been doing a lot of
studing on Microsoft's mixed language model and since that is how the segment
is handled, I would do it that way despite anyone else's preconceived notions.
The reasoning as it is explained in MASM is so that it is easier to add
offsets to a FAR address.

Makes sense to me.   DaR
