Another problem with the new MASM V6: if any file read by the assembler
(either the named source file, or an included file) is ended with a ^Z,
the ^Z is copied to the assembler listing file unless a .XLIST is in
effect at the time.  This of course stops most programs which read the
listing file, including such obscure commands as TYPE.

If the main source file ends in ^Z the listing file will effectively end
immediately after the 'end' statement, meaning that you don't see the
symbol table.

uSoft tech support was able to duplicate the problem, but has no idea
when a fix might be available.
