Problem:
   The UNDEL that came with MASM Version 5.10 does not work properly.
I am using DOS Version 2.x.

Response:
   The utilities UNDEL, EXP, RM, and MEGREP are all bound. There is at
least one known problem with running bound programs under DOS Version
2.x, that is, you cannot rename the .EXE file to anything other than
the name BIND outputs it as. For example, if the MAKE file reads as
follows:

    bind undelp.exe doscalls.lib api.lib -o undelb.exe

then you cannot rename UNDELB.EXE in order for it to work correctly on
DOS Version 2.x.
