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