SUMMARY
=======

The macro example on Page Update-23 in the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1:
Updates and Microsoft Editor" has an error in it. The macro in the example is
called RestRegs.

The current example reads as follows:

        RestRegs    MACRO
           numloc   instr  regpushed,"#"
              .
              .
              .
                    ENDM

The second line should read as follows:

           numloc  instr  regpushed,<#>

However, even with this correction made to the example this macro will not work
correctly on MASM version 5.1. This example does not work correctly on MASM
version 5.1 due to a problem with the SUBSTR directive when assigning a string a
substring of itself.

Additional query words: 5.10
