  21 /*
  22  * For every sub-segment the user mentions in the ASsembler program,
  23  * we make one struct frchain. Each sub-segment has exactly one struct frchain
  24  * and vice versa.
  25  *
  26  * Struct frchain's are forward chained (in ascending order of sub-segment
  27  * code number). The chain runs through frch_next of each subsegment.
  28  * This makes it hard to find a subsegment's frags
  29  * if programmer uses a lot of them. Most programs only use text0 and
  30  * data0, so they don't suffer. At least this way:
  31  * (1)  There are no "arbitrary" restrictions on how many subsegments
  32  *      can be programmed;
  33  * (2)  Subsegments' frchain-s are (later) chained together in the order in
  34  *      which they are emitted for object file viz text then data.
  35  *
  36  * From each struct frchain dangles a chain of struct frags. The frags
  37  * represent code fragments, for that sub-segment, forward chained.
