Summary:

Page 336 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1 Programmer's Guide"

shipped with MASM version 5.00 and 5.10 has a table that lists the

various conditional jump instructions, what each means, and whether

each acts on a signed or unsigned value. The table has the

signed/unsigned values mixed up.

The table currently states:

Letter Meaning

------ -------

J Jump

G Greater than (for unsigned comparisons)

L Less than (for unsigned comparisons)

A Above (for signed comparisons)

B Below (for signed comparisons)

E Equal

N Not

It should read:

Letter Meaning

------ -------

J Jump

G Greater than (for signed comparisons)

L Less than (for signed comparisons)

A Above (for unsigned comparisons)

B Below (for unsigned comparisons)

E Equal

N Not
