There was an article in a recent Dr. Dobb's Journal. Basically, what you 
did was create and debug the program with MSC, then when you were ready to
ROM the code, you put the EXE file through what amounted to a loader that 
resolved DOS fixups to the place you wanted to ROM the code at, and save 
the binary image. "Recent" is within two years-- they do tend to pile up.
