BTW, I finally found out where I got the idea that wasm was
masm-compatible.  It the "getting started" book on page 4 it 
says "Assembler The WATCOM Assembler is a Microsoft compatible
assembler".  Unless they mean version 1.0 of MASM or something,
it is simply false advertising, as masm 5.1 supports the "type"
keyword, whilst wasm doesn't.  BFN.  Paul.
