-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

Using an instruction that requires a 80186, 80286, or 80386 processor may cause
the Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) 5.1 to generate the one of the following
errors:

  A2066: Must have instruction after prefix.

  A2105: Expected: instruction, directive, or label

and MASM 6.0 to generate the following error:

  A2085: instruction or register not accepted in current CPU mode

The error occurs because the default assembly mode is 8086. The .186, .286,
.286p, .386, or .386p directive must be placed in the source code prior to any
instructions that require those modes.

In addition, MASM 6.0 supports 80486 instructions.
