The following information is from Page 437 of the "Microsoft Macro
Assembler 5.0 for the MS-DOS Operating System: Programmer's Guide":
An immediate operand was supplied to an instruction that cannot use
immediate data. For example, the following statement is illegal:
mov ds,DGROUP
You must move the segment address into a general register and then
move it from that register to DS.
