  Syntax:   ALIGN number
 
  Aligns next variable or instruction on an offset address that is a
  multiple of number. The assembler pads each skipped byte with a NOP
  (in code segment) or 0 (in data segment) as needed.
 
  number  Must be a power of 2 (i.e., 2,4,8...) and should be equal to or
          greater than the size of the align type of the current segment.
