- No. You can assume ES to be uninitialized (ie, random value), and
- DS pointing to the program's data segment.
- Try this and see for yourself :-)
-
- Note that if you change "b^:=a" to "a:=b^", DS and ES hold the same
- value when entering ShowESAndDS.

- Asm
- Mov _ES, ES
- Mov _DS, DS
- End ;
- WriteLn('ES=', _ES, ', DS=', _DS) ;
- End ;

- Begin
- New(b) ;
- b^:=a ;
- ShowESAndDS ;
- Dispose(b) ;
- End.
