Last reviewed: November 3, 1994
Article ID: Q28596

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Macro Assembler for MS-DOS, versions 5.0, 5.1, and 5.1a
Microsoft Macro Assembler for OS/2, versions 5.1 and 5.1a

Page 325 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.0 Programmer's Guide" and page 325 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1 Programmer's Guide" incorrectly state the following under section 16.8, "Shifting and Rotating Bits:"

   Bits can be moved right (toward the most-significant bits) or left
   (toward the 0 bit).

It should say the following:

   Bits can be moved right (toward the 0 bits) or left (toward the
   most significant bit).

Additional reference words: 5.00 5.10 5.10a
