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:

                         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.
