Yup. From "Unix Assembler Reference Manual" (by DMR; no date, but the one I'm looking at came with V6): "An octal constant consists of a sequence of digits ... A decimal constant consists of a sequence of digits terminated by a decimal point '.'." > It certainly isn't the one used by the GNU assemblers, which are modeled > after the old Unix syntax. Except when they gratuitously change things. Noel
