+The <tt/SEGMENT/ directive is used to specify a segment within the
+disassembled code. The following attributes are recognized:
+
+<descrip>
+
+  <tag><tt>START</tt></tag>
+  Followed by a numerical value. Specifies the start address of the segment.
+
+  <tag><tt>END</tt></tag>
+  Followed by a numerical value. Specifies the end address of the segment. The
+  end address is last the address that is part of the segment.
+
+  <tag><tt>NAME</tt></tag>
+  The attribute is followed by a string value which gives the name of the
+  segment.
+</descrip>
+
+All attributes are mandatory. Segments may not overlap. Since there is no
+explicit "end this segment" pseudo op, the disassembler cannot notify the
+assembler that one segment has ended. This may lead to errors if you don't
+define your segments carefully. As a rule of thumb, if you're using segments,
+your should define segments for all disassembled code.
