/DSALLOC Option

Syntax: /DS[ALLOCATE]
The /DSALLOC option tells LINK to load all data starting at the
high end of the data segment. When /DSALLOC is used, the DS (data
segment) register is set at run time to the lowest data-segment
address that contains program data.
By default, LINK loads all data starting at the low end of the
data segment. At run time, DS is set to the lowest possible
address to allow the entire data segment to be used.
/DSALLOC is mainly used with the /HIGH option to take advantage of
unused memory within the data segment. These options are valid
only for assembly-language programs that create DOS .EXE files.
