SUMMARY
=======

Page 336 of the "Microsoft Macro Assembler 5.1 Programmer's Guide" shipped with
MASM version 5.0 and 5.1 has a table that lists the various conditional jump
instructions, what each means, and whether each acts on a signed or unsigned
value. The table has the signed/unsigned values mixed up.

The table currently states:

  Letter  Meaning
  ------  -------

   J      Jump
   G      Greater than (for unsigned comparisons)
   L      Less than (for unsigned comparisons)
   A      Above (for signed comparisons)
   B      Below (for signed comparisons)
   E      Equal
   N      Not

It should read:

  Letter  Meaning
  ------  -------

   J      Jump
   G      Greater than (for signed comparisons)
   L      Less than (for signed comparisons)
   A      Above (for unsigned comparisons)
   B      Below (for unsigned comparisons)
   E      Equal
   N      Not

Additional query words: 5.00 5.10 5.10a
