SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft has confirmed that the following documentation errors occur on pages
26 and 56 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Installing and Using the
Professional Development System" manual for MASM version 6.0. We will post new
information here when the documentation has been corrected.

Page 26
-------

At the top of page 26, in Table 3.1, the file type indicator for MASM source code
is shown as being "ASM". This is incorrect; the file type indicator for MASM
source code is "MACRO".

Page 56
-------

The statements on page 56 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler Installing and Using
the Professional Development System" for MASM 6.0 read:

     mov  ax, 0FFh
     int  21h

They should read as follows:

     mov  ah, 0FFh
     int  21h

Additional query words: 6.00
