ERRATA to the printed version of the manual.
There were a few last-minute changes:
pp.21,145:
A86 and D86 now have more flexible memory management, so that they
can run on systems with less memory. Their capacity is reduced on
such systems, however. See A03.DOC and D03.DOC for the numbers.
p. 28:
A86 now also accepts MOV from one word-sized memory quantity to
another (generating a PUSH then POP). Also there are more general
forms to the XCHG instruction: you can use segment registers (except
CS) in XCHG, and you can specify the XCHG or two memory operands.
p. 100:
A user pointed out to me that it's impossible to get an equals-sign
into an environment string. So A86 now also accepts an up-arrow
symbol (hex 5E) in place of an equals sign in an invocation equate.
p. 105:
In the chart at the top of the page, the A86 equivalent to EXITM is
#EX, not #EM as stated. Also, the second through fifth lines of
the A86 column of that chart should start with double pound signs,
so that the IF-condition is tested when the macro is expanded, not
when the macro is defined.
p.109:
Prior to V3.12, XREF required the list of source files to be
explicitly given, and allowed you to specify the name of the
output file. To retain compatiblity with batch files invoking
the old XREF, the current version ignores anything on the command
tail after the symbols file name. This means you can no longer
specify a different output file name. Sorry about that-- I
couldn't think of any other way to be compatible without
overwriting somebody's source files with XREF output. You can
always rename the file after XREF is completed.
p. 156:
For registered users with a 386 machine, there is the "D" command,
that allows you to specify a trap whenever a given memory location is
accessed. See the file D05.DOC for details.
