Article: Q57359
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 7.00 7.10 | 7.00 7.10

On Page 495 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for 7.00
and 7.10), a space should appear between the assembly code "proc" and
"uses", but the manual shows no space between them.

The following is incorrect:

   addstring  procuses si di ds,s1:far ptr,s1len,s2:far ptr,s2len

The following is correct:

   addstring  proc uses si di sd,s1:far ptr,s1len,s2:far ptr,s2len

This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
