[bug-mdk] program M (page 145)

[Daniel C. Bastos]

I could not get the ``Program M'' page 145 Vol 1 ``The Art of
Assembly Programming'' to work. I got the ``Program P'' to work,
though: ``Program P'' is on page 148.

%mixasm --version

%mixasm max.mixal 
max.mixal:13: error: unexpected end of file
(0 warning(s), 1 error(s))

%cat max.mixal 
X       EQU     1000
        ORIG    3000
MAXIMUM STJ     EXIT

        LDA     X,3
        DEC3    1
        J3P     LOOP
EXIT    JMP     *

Has anyone ever written program M successfully? Do I have a
mistake anywhere in the program?

``Program P'' on page 148 compiled and ran fine with version 1.1
and version 1.2. 

Thank you.
