Yes. If you do that, the buffer will be allocated before the program is
run, and deallocated after it is finished, automatically. However it is
more logical to do it this way:

screen  ds.b    3840

Yes, in some of my source code it still uses "dcb", but that's because I
was quickly converting my programs to use BSS and didn't take the time to
change "dcb" to "ds". I'll do that for the next version. :)
