In the "Microsoft C Run-Time Library Source Routines" for C Version
5.00 or C 5.10, Line 28 of the file ALMUL.ASM in the \HELPER directory
contains a typographical error. The incorrect statement reads as
follows:

   assume ds,code

The statement should read as follows:

   assume ds,data

Since no data is defined or referenced in the original ALMUL.ASM, the
typographical error does not cause problems in the C library. However,
if you purchased the C library source code from the end user sales
department, defined and referenced data in ALMUL.ASM, and attempted to
assemble the modified ALMUL.ASM with MASM, you receive the following
error:

   error A2068: Cannot address with segment register

Correcting the error in ALMUL.ASM, as noted above, corrects the
problem.
