The ALIGN directive adds the necessary bytes to pad the current offset
to be divisible by 16.
In the example below, the offset of the first byte of d1 is 0;
therefore, the offset of the last is 31. Thus, 1 byte of padding is
necessary to "align on a paragraph boundary," i.e., make the current
offset divisible by 16.
The following example demonstrates this information:
e.data
d1 db 'This is to pad the data segment'
