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 3.3, 4.0, and 4.01.

   EXE2BIN comes with:    Works with:         Does not work with:
   -------------------    ----------          -------------------

   1. MS-DOS 3.30         MS-DOS 3.30         MS-DOS 4.00 & 4.01
                          PC-DOS 3.30         PC-DOS 4.00 & 4.01

   2. MS-DOS 4.40 & 4.41  MS-DOS 4.00 & 4.01  MS-DOS 3.30
                          PC-DOS 4.00 & 4.01  PC-DOS 3.30

      Note: You will get the message "Incorrect DOS version."
                

The EXE2BIN.EXE files that come with MS-DOS versions 4.0 and 4.01 are identical. They have been tested by using the COMP command.
