An error was made in the file C1.ERR, which is included in the
Microsoft QuickAssembler package, where one error listing was omitted.

This omission produces the following warning whenever you compile a C
program and have the "Generate Com file" option chosen in the menu
Options.Make.Linker Flags:

   C4096: UNKNOWN WARNING
          Contact Microsoft Technical Support

This warning is not "unknown"; rather, it is just omitted. Actually, C4096
means the following:

   C4096    "-AT treated as -AS"

To correct this problem, you need only insert the following line in
the file C1.ERR:

   C4096    "-AT treated as -AS"

You should insert this line into the file so that it is correctly
ordered (i.e., C4096 should follow C4095...).

This ommission will be corrected in subsequent releases of the
QuickAssembler package.
