SUMMARY
=======

Page 89 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.0: Programmer's Guide" and page 89
of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1: Programmer's Guide" incorrectly state

With .MODEL small or .MODEL compact, the name for code segments is not ignored,
but does produce the following error:

  A2063: Operand Combination Illegal
