Summary:

Page 19 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1 Programmer's Guide"

incorrectly states that "(EXE2BIN.EXE file) is not included in the

Macro Assembler package, but it does come with the MS-DOS and PC-DOS

operating systems." The Macro Assembler package comes with MS-DOS,

but does not come with PC-DOS versions 3.30, 4.00, and 4.01.
