     For segmented programs, specifying NODATALIT gives the advantage of
     being able to have literals in the CODE segment so that they can then
     be swapped out with the code that references them. There is generally
     no advantage in specifying NODATALIT for a non-segmented program.
     However, if you are running generated code (.GNT files) under DOS,
     specifying NOTDATLIT lets you discard any unreferenced code segment.
