 Last reviewed: November 3, 1994
Article ID: Q75968
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for MS-DOS, versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b
  • Microsoft Macro Assembler for OS/2, versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0b

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
