    Why not set DS every time your ASM is called then?

hello proc far
  push   ds
  mov    ax, {at}data
  mov    ds, ax
  .....
  pop    ds
endp

    It's kludgy but then at least it will work under Watcom.

    BTW, congrats on having the endurance to trace through a HLL executable
of a couple of hundred K. ;-)
