SUMMARY

The following corrections apply to passing far variable-length strings between Basic and MASM (macro assembler) using Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.0 and 7.1 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.

• There is an error on page 494 of the "Microsoft Basic 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for 7.0 and 7.1), as shown below.
  
  The following line is incorrect:

        C$ = (A$, LEN(A$), B$, LEN(B$))
  						

  The line should be as follows:

        C$ = AddString$(A$, LEN(A$), B$, LEN(B$))
  						

• There is an error on page 495 of the "Microsoft Basic 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for 7.0 and 7.1), as shown below. The first line after the ".code" line is incorrect:

     addstring   procuses si di ds, ...
  						

  and should be changed to read:

     addstring   proc uses si di ds, ...
