SUMMARY
=======

On page 610 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Programmer's Guide" version 6.0
manual, there is an example of a listing file accompanied by instructions on how
to read such a file. In the header of the sample listing, the date is printed in
the following format:

  MMM DD hh:mm:ss yyyy

This format was from a beta version of Macro Assembler (MASM) 6.0 that was used
when the documentation was written and is not consistent with the output in the
released version. In the released version, the date prints in the following
format:

  MM/DD/YY hh:mm:ss

Additional query words: 6.00 6.00a 6.00b
