WORD             Align on 2-byte boundary                          Align Type

  segname   SEGMENT   WORD

    Specifies that a segment is to begin at a memory address that is an
    exact multiple of 2, that is, the least significant bit is 0 (Also
    called a word boundary).

       Notes:     The actual start address is not computed until the
                  program is actually loaded.  It is the Linker's
                  responsibility to insure that the correct memory
                  boundary is used.
