If you are familiar with 8088 (IBM) assembler, DC.W does the same
thing that the directive DW does in 8088. Moreover, all it does is say,
instead of storing an instruction here, store this word. There is such a
directive for each data length:
DC.B Store Data Byte
DC.W Store Data Word
DC.L Store Data Long word
The most common use of these, heretofore, is to store titles:
ProgName
DC.B 'My Fargo Program',0
