asmintro.chm, typographical errors

[bolzano_1989]

In Protected Mode Memory section of asmintro.chm, there's a line of code:

Code Select Expand

mov [edx], al ; copy ascii zero to address in EDI

I think it should be corrected to:

Code Select Expand

mov [edx], al ; copy ascii zero to address in edx

In Working With Macros section of asmintro.chm, there's a line:

Macros differ from library modules n a number of important ways...

which should be corrected to:

Macros differ from library modules in a number of important ways...

Also, in masm32.chm under Calling Conventions the table fails to indicate that SYSCALL is caller stack cleanup, as is the actual case (tested for ML 6.15 only).

In Working With Macros section of asmintro.chm, there's a line:

The convention is not without purpose as it provides a method where the least number of register preservations need to occur between procedures calling other procedures or systme function in the Windows APIs.

which should be corrected to:

I would argue that better that one person modifies the document as otherwise different versioning issues are muddled, if someone mistakenly deletes a page all hell would break loose.... You might end up with 3 different versions with different updates all uploaded at the same time meaning someone has to go through all 3 documents to find the updates and amend one single version....

MT updating requires a MT comptible updating system

When I get around to the documentation I will fix the typos but at the moment I am working on macros and library modules and will not put it aside for a trivial matter of spelling.
